Changing my IP address - Simples?

I'm changing one of my sites to a new IP address, same server etc. so I can add a SSL cert to it as the server already has one on a different site, it runs on IIS 6.0 is it just a simple matter of changing the IP address in the web site properties and redirecting the DNS server?

Is it likely affect rankings, I would have thought not as no other details will change in the DNS or owner records.

TIA, Regards,
Phil.

If you can copy the site to both locations and then change the ip you should get limited down time while the DNS populates around the web - keep the old one live until at least 72 hours after and you should be fine.
