How to Change the IP Range for the ICS DHCP Service


To change the IP range of the DHCP service on the ICS Host, follow these steps:

Use Registry Editor to modify the data value of the IntranetInfo value in the following registry key:

Hkey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ICSharing\Settings\General

The first number listed is the IP address of the internal IP address of the ICS host. The second number is the subnet IP address separated by a comma. Enter the first IP address of the new range followed by the subnet mask, separated by a comma. (For example, 169.254.0.1,255.255.0.0.).

Modify the data value of the Start value in the following registry key:

Hkey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ICSharing\Addressing\Settings

Change the value to the second address of the selected IP range. This address cannot be the same or a lower value than the IP address used for the IntranetInfo key.

Description of How ICS Appears in Network Properties

When you install Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), ICS adds an ICS adapter and an ICS protocol. Note that both of these components must be present for ICS to work correctly. This article describes how ICS appears in the Network tool in Control Panel, and lists some examples of how ICS may be affected when you alter network components.  ICS should look similar to this when you view the Network tool in Control Panel.

Note:: Generally, a dial-up adapter should not be bound to the TCP/IP(home) component. This generally indicates the Home and Internet Adapters need to be switched in ICS Properties.

The following list contains examples of how ICS may be affected when you alter network components:
