Narrative:
I mistakenly climbed a BE30 to 10000 ft to ptw. I didn't see a hawker wbound at 10000 ft to mxe. I was distraction by an automation problem with ZDC (tags dropping off of aircraft on the teb jaike 1 STAR). My airspace altitudes change depending on runway configns. We had switched back and forth from runway 27 to runway 9 several times during the day. I forgot we had recently switched to runway 9 (where I only own 9000 ft).

Narrative: I MISTAKENLY CLBED A BE30 TO 10000 FT TO PTW. I DIDN'T SEE A HAWKER WBOUND AT 10000 FT TO MXE. I WAS DISTR BY AN AUTOMATION PROB WITH ZDC (TAGS DROPPING OFF OF ACFT ON THE TEB JAIKE 1 STAR). MY AIRSPACE ALTS CHANGE DEPENDING ON RWY CONFIGNS. WE HAD SWITCHED BACK AND FORTH FROM RWY 27 TO RWY 9 SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE DAY. I FORGOT WE HAD RECENTLY SWITCHED TO RWY 9 (WHERE I ONLY OWN 9000 FT).
