Internet Connection Sharing On A 192.168.0.x Network

[phongn22]

I've sucessfully used my pineapple at coffee shops in the past but it died, so I ordered a new on from Darren at Hak5. I'm re-setting up my laptop for Internet Connection Sharing using the my new pineapple. The question I have is: How do you configure your 2 NICS if your wifi hotspot is using a 192.168.0.x network? Most networks use 192.168.1.x which works fine but when you configure Windows XP for ICS, it auto assigns the second NIC to 192.168.0.1 which conflicts with the gateway of the wifi hotspot's gateway. I've tried manually changing my sendondary NIC to 192.168.0.2 but I it appears that Windows doesn't like you to change it from the auto assigned address of 192.168.0.1 needed for ICS. How do I get around this?

Thanks,

Phong

Setting static IP's. I understand you tried that, but that is how. I use linux so I can't help much. But I can say with almost 99% guarantee that you can change it's IP.

Have you tried changing the default sub-net in the registry? See this KB article for instructions:

I use Windows vigorously and often so I feel confident in my reply. If the question was about linux I probably wouldn't have answered.
