How do i change de defalut Windows XP Scope (192.168.0.x) to the following scope (192.168.1.x)??? See i have a local groupwork at home using shared internet connection (ICS) provided by a winXP machine that uses the scope(192.168.0.x), but at work im member of a domain that uses this scope (192.168.1.x) and I have an static IP addres(192.168.1.9). I hope anyone can help me with this issue? Thanks. peace Out!

Since you must have a static IP address at work, the easiest way to deal
with this is to get rid of ICS and buy a cable/dsl router (if you have
broadband at home). Set the router's address to match your work subnet;
i.e., 192.168.1.1. You can either disable DHCP on the router and assign
static IP's in that range to all your computers or allow the router to
pass out the IP's. It won't matter that your work computer has a static
IP as long as the subnet is the same.

I'm sorry, but there's no supported way to do that. ICS is designed
to work only with 192.168.0.x.

After enabling ICS, you can manually change the IP address of the ICS
host computer's LAN connection to something like 192.168.1.1. That
will disable the host's DHCP server, so you'll have to manually assign
TCP/IP configurations to all of the client computers. There's also no
guarantee that ICS or networking will work properly after that.

If you want to try it, create a system restore point first, so that
you can recover from any problems that arise.

Have you consulted with the IT people at work?
