What do you mean by "change IP randomnly"? You normally wouldn't do this since you need an IP in a certain Range with proper MAsk and Gateway for proper communications.

Do assign an IP via command line, you would use (for example):

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up
