Default ICS and STATIC IP address.

In order for ICS to work the HOST must have a STATIC IP address...

On the Windows98 SE ICS wizzard the ip address of 192.168.0.1 and
mask 255.255.255.0 is given automatically.
However that IP address is reserved from another machine on the network that
for some reasons I cannot change
its IP.

Is there a way to have ICS working on another STATIC IP address? Say
192.168.0.5?

I am trying to configure windows 98 SE edition, but since XP has it too , I
want to know that also.

For win98, yes. I suspect xp can too but the following applies to
win98.

After automatic installation to 192.168.0.1 you need to change the
address in the tcp/ip settings in the usual way and also change
this registry value so it matches your chosen ip address and mask
instead of the default.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\ICSharing\Settings\General

IntranetInfo = 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 (change to your chosen ip)
EnableDHCP = 1 (change this to 0 if you want to switch dhcp off)

If you are using the ics machine as a dhcp server, you can adjust the
dhcp pool as described here.

http://support.microsoft.com/default...B;en-us;230148

The ics clients usually get their gateway and dns info etc. as part of
the dhcp process so you need to enter this manually on the clients if
you have switched dhcp off. eg.

IP Address: 192.168.0.x (change to whatever client address you
use)
subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (or whatever you use)
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.5 (change to address of ICS server)
DNS Configuration:
Enable DNS
Host = client computer's name
DNS Server = ip address of ICS server or your ISP's DNS server
