Answer 1

You can use the subprocess module to start

netsh interface ip set address [params]

Start this from the commandline (without[params]) to get some help how to use it. Then you can do

import subprocess
subprocess.call("netsh interface ip set address ....".split())

Update:

For those who's too busy to rtfm,

netsh interface ip set address lan static 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0
netsh interface ip set address lan dhcp

here lan is the name of the network interface to configure, 192.168.0.100 is ip address, 255.255.255.0 is network mask. The first command sets static address, the second reverts to dhcp.
