I am sure this has been discussed quite a few times ... does changing ip address affect rankings ...

No. You can change hosts or change servers without any problems. Rankings are attached to URLs, not IP addresses.

Rainborick is right but, try to avoid any "dead" time. (As in the site IP address has changed but your DNS is not pointing to the new IP.)
You could have problems if search engines try to crawl your site with the DNS pointing to the wrong (old) IP.
Other than that you should be OK.
