I keep getting bitten by an annoying bug in the TCP/IP system.
You can change from say a DHCP network configuration to a static
IP address. No rebooting needed; this is a real OS.
You can change it again, great...
But somewhere about the third or 4th time; the GUI says it's the new
settings.... but it is not..it is still the old ones.
At that point; your only solution is to reboot.
Now, you might think no one ever has to reset their addresses more than
once; but if you are doing network testing or working with a device you
configure via a browser....
Two things make this a PITA. First, it's silent. Second, it's existed
since at least OS9. In fact the only reason I thought to reboot was my
past grief with OS9....
I wonder if Apple will ever fix this..

Oh, about 5 or 6 years ago....

I've done both. I have DHCP and static locations, and sometimes change
that way. But the braindead scheme for locations, where you can't lock
the data in place, means sometimes I'll overwrite what was there, so I
end up with manual changes.
Next time I get caught, I'll do dumps of /sbin/ifconfig to see what show
there. But I just had a DCHP set address of 172.16.73.201 showing in the
control panel, and the box was at 192.168.1.1, pinging away.

Maybe you should do it again.
