Help with ICS please, connecting 1394 and LAN

[Guest]

Hi all,
I am trying to enable ICS on my desktop between LAN and 1394 (firewire)
connections. Desktop is connected to the server with IP 192.168.0.1 via LAN
connection. Unfortunately someone at MS decided that users do not need to be
able to change IP for Internet Connection Sharing host.

Is there any tricky way to change that?
I skimmed through registry for clues but all in vein....

P.S. Please do not suggest getting a router or changing DHCP server IP to
something else but 192.168.0.1


regards
y.

The only possible solution I can think of would be to use a hex editor
to hack the executable code. I don't know how to do it, and I don't
recommend doing it.
