Change IP addresses for ICS

[Wacek]

Hi!

How can I change the IP range of the DHCP service on the ICS Host (I don't
want 192.168.0.x range).

Thnx.

I'm sorry, but there's no supported way to do that. ICS is designed
to work only with 192.168.0.x. If you need to change the IP range,
use something other than ICS for Internet sharing.

You can manually change the host computer's LAN connection IP address.
That will disable the ICS host's DHCP server, and it might cause other
problems on the network. If you want to try it, make a system restore
point first so that you can recover from any problems.

OK! Thanks.
I have XP computer connected to Internet via wireless card. Provider uses
192.168.0.x address in his network. I can configured all my IPs as static.
But how can I enable routing beetwen two lan cards (wireless with internet
and normal with my lan,
what parameters would I enter to routing table)

Best wishess too.

Simply enabling routing between the XP computer's wireless and LAN
connections isn't enough to do what you want, Wacek. It can move
packets between your computers, but it won't give Internet access to
the other one(s).

If your ISP will give you multiple 192.168.0.x IP addresses, disable
ICS and then create a network bridge between the wireless and LAN
connections on the XP computer. That will combine them into one
logical network. I've written a web page with details:

XP ICS - Network Bridge

If you can only get one 192.168.0.x IP address, then the choices that
I see are:

1. Change the ICS host's LAN IP address to another subnet, assign
static IP address(es) to the other computer(s), and see if it works.

2. Use a different Internet sharing program.

3. Get a wireless broadband router, connect your ISP to its WAN
(Internet) port, and connect the other computers to it using wired or
wireless connections.
