You don't need AppleScript to do this. You can easily change TCP/IP
configurations with Location Manager and it's control strip module.
Create two locations in Location Manager (in Control Panels), one for each
TCP/IP configuration. You can then swap between them using the pop-up menu
in the control strip.
