Changing my DHCP network

[Guest]

Hello.
I have My Windows XP Professional with 3 network adapters fully working on
my internet and local network.
On my LAN, I have a Powerbook conect by cross over cable. To share my
internet connection, I have setup the "sharing the internet connection" and a
DHCP server is working fine.
Well, my problem is, the DHCP server (native setup) on XP, attribute a class
192.168.0.x:255.255.255.0 to my client computer (mac). I need to access my
office over a VPN to process a variety of jobs, including FTP, Linux
administrations and a lot of similar process. My office internal network is
over se same IP Class and this create a conflict.
In my office, I have 50 computers and is more effective change my home
network but, HOW I DO THIS?
I have tried the netsh and it can give me access to the DHCP Class.
Any sugestions?

Best regards

I'm sorry, but XP's Internet Connection Sharing doesn't support
changing its IP addresses from the 192.168.0.x range.

You might be able to get it to work by making some manual settings.
This is unsupported by Microsoft, and there are no guarantees. I
recommend making a system restore point before changing settings in
case something goes wrong:

1. Manually change the ICS host computer's LAN connection IP address
to a different subnet. For example, you can set it to
192.168.2.1/255.255.255.0.

2. That will disable the host's DHCP server, so you'll have to
manually configure the TCP/IP settings on the client computer. If you
use 192.168.2.1 on the host, the client settings would be:

IP Address: 192.168.2.x (1<x<255)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1
DNS Server = 192.168.2.1 or your ISP's DNS server
