[plug] Changing IP Address

Its the "4" version thats affected - and I not going to shell out for a
new 5 licence (its my own money!) - not worth it.  
Qemu is a viable replacement these days - only slightly slower so for
home Ive reinstalled my ancient W2K into that - goodbye vmware! 

And for work, so far even oracle forms works fine (firefox), so the only
reason to run vmware there (they bought me a v4 licence) is the odd
crummy excel spreadsheet that OO doesnt handle.  If I need it before
they fix vmware, I'll convert that to qemu as well.
