Re: Any way to change ICS subnet from 192.168.0.1 ???

I have a sort of funky setup I'm trying to get working.

PC #1 has two NICs:

NIC1 - Wireless card getting internet (DHCP) from a router using
192.168.0.x subnet
NIC2 - Ethernet card I want to use for sharing NIC1 connection. (If I
use ICS, it tries to assign this NIC 192.168.0.1 and THIS is a
problem).


PC #2 Has one NIC with a crossover cable to NIC2 on PC #1.

In a nutshell, my cable router is NATing the real cable modem address
to 192.168.0.0 and this conflicts with ICS setting for NIC2. Is there
a way to force ICS to use some other network ???? Note, I don't have
admin access to the wirelesws router and can't force it to use some
other inside subnet. Since the router is in effect 192.168.0.1, the
ICS wizard craps out and I need to trick it (if possible).

Thanks in advance

Ron,

Microsoft provides instructions here, but note the caveat.
Although altering these specific ICS settings is possible in the manner
described in this article, Microsoft Product Support Services will not assist
with customizing IP settings for ICS beyond the default configuration.
