I'm sorry, but it isn't possible to change the ICS DHCP range in
Windows XP.
You can manually change the host's LAN connection IP address to a
different subnet (e.g. to 192.168.1.1) after enabling ICS. However:
1. It's not recommended, tested, or supported by Microsoft.
2. It will disable the host's DHCP server, requiring you to manually
configure the clients
3. There's no guarantee that your network will work properly if you
do.
If you want to try it, at your own risk, make a restore point with
System Restore first so that you can undo the change in case of
problems.
