Is there a way other than permanently assigning an IP, to assign IP's in
other ranges than 169.... - this is the fall back addressing range when a
DHCP server is not found?

According to the standards a "Get IP Address Automatically" configured LAN
card will set up in the 169... series in the event that the DHCP server is
not found. I would like to default this to the 192... series.

There are some entries in the registry that appear to do this, but I am a
little nervous about tweaking these....
