I have an internet connection through LAN which consist
of a server with real IP and clients that all have static
IPs and they all run windows XP professional
the static IPs are 192.168.0.x where the gateway is
192.168.0.1.
I want to connect another computer running windows XP
professional to share the internet connection with one of
the clients by connect another LAN card to that client
and use it to make direct connection with the new
computer.
The windows XP professional apply the IP address
192.168.0.1 automatically to the network card used to
connect with other computers, and since this IP address
already used in the network the windows XP professional
refuse to establish the connection.
So is there any way I can change the default IP given to
the network card in Internet sharing.
thanks

Don't enable ICS on the client computer that connects to the new
computer. Instead, create a network bridge between the two LAN cards
on the client computer. Details here:

XP ICS - Network Bridge
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/networkbridge.htm

Another possibility is to get an inexpensive network hub or switch and
connect both the client and the new computer to it -- no need for ICS,
network bridge, or a second LAN card.

Hello Sir
Thanks very much for your help, and I want more please
I managed to create Network Bridge in the client computer
and setup the TCP/IP configuration for it, where I put
the IP (192.168.0.15) for this bridge connection.
the problem is that I have to put one of static IPs of my
network (i.e 192.168.0.x) in the new computer and with
same gateway (i.e 192.168.0.1) to establish internet
connection.
actually I aim to use another IPs for the new Computer.
so how connect new computers and use another IPs, and
share the internet connection.
Thanks

You're welcome.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your question. The Network Bridge
allows your new computer to connect to the network just like all of
the other computers. Assign its TCP/IP configuration the same way
that you've assigned all of the other computers, using the 192.168.0.x
subnet.

Mr Steve Winograd
I'm sorry because I can't explain my questions, English
is not my mother language.
the question is I did everthing, I created the bridge
connection, connect the new computer and Assigned its
TCP/IP configuration using the 192.168.0.x ang login to
the internet.
everthing is O.K
The question is that I don't want to use the 192.168.0.x
IP address in the new computer, I want to use another
addresses (e.g 192.0.0.x).
So how can I use an IP address not belong to
(192.168.0.x) group in the new computer.
Thanks

Thank you for that explanation. I'm sorry, but Windows XP doesn't
provide any way to do what you want using ICS or the Network Bridge.
You can probably find another Internet sharing program that runs on
Windows XP and can use a different subnet. Here are some places to
look:

http://www.networkingfiles.com/ModemShar/modemshar.htm
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/freeshare.htm
http://www.wown.com/j_helmig/netdun.htm#nonms

Why do you want the new computer to be in a different subnet? There
might be another way to do what you want while using the same subnet.
