Question: I have a custom made ADC device that is spitting out data by addressed UDP packets.

I have that device plugged into a 4 port switch.

I have one windows embedded standard 7 machine which is the normal recipient of that data. To be able to receive the data (Using LabVIEW) the windows network adapter IPv4 settings must have a static IP address that corresponds to the UDP packet destination.

I would like to add a second windows machine (This one is just regular Win 7 Pro) to simultaneously catch the data, however with all devices connected to the switch, the Win 7 Pro machine recognizes an IP address conflict and will not take the setting for the required static IP address. (The network adaptor settings show that the correct value has been entered but ipconfig shows that it is not actually set.)

Neither windows machine needs to transmit network data, they only need to be able to receive the UDP data from the ADC device.

Is there any way to disable this IP address conflict detection 'feature' of windows networking?

Answer: 
The easiest way I've found to split lines in Vim is the normal mode command `gq` (type both letters in quick succession in normal or visual mode):

* In visual mode, it will split whatever is selected.
* In normal mode, you follow `gq` with a motion.

For example, `gql` will split one line to the currently set width. To set the width of the split lines to be different from your current setting, you can use 

```
:set textwidth=<n>

```

Where n=number of characters you want in a line, e.g., 10, and change back to your normal width when you're done.

Got this information from a Youtube video by Kholidfu that shows how to join and split lines in normal mode using a motion: [Vim Tutorial - Join and Split Lines](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA9WFO_WUOM).
You can use the `s` substitute request with the `\r` carriage return. Consider a file with this sentence at line one:

```
This is sentence one. This is sentence two.

```

Then this will split the sentences into two lines:

```
:1s/\. /\r/

```
