Change XP's ICN DHCP settings

[Ron Sorensen]

Hello,

Is it possible to change the ip address range that the DHCP server dishes
out to the clients when using Internet Connection Sharing (XP Pro).
Currently it hands out addresses in the 192.168.0.xxx range. The problem
with this is I need to make a VPN connection to the office and the office
already is using the same range internally and that doesn't work. If I use
all static ip addresses at home instead of DHCP I can get it to work, but
I'd like to be able to use DHCP.

Thanks for you help.
Ron

AFAIK, you must use the 192.168.0.xx for ICS. How are you connecting to
the Internet? Broadband or dialup? If broadband, get a cable/dsl router
instead of using ICS.
