instead of marking a range for dhcp service, it is more convenient to
asslgin a client with static ip to work with the ics dedicated
workstation.

here is how:

Add a valid ICS private IP address to the client.
· Configure the default gateway to be 192.168.0.1.
· Configure the preferred DNS server to be 192.168.0.1.
· Add MSHOME.NET as the DNS suffix on the client.
· Add an entry for the client to the Hosts file on the Windows
XP-based ICS host, using client_name.MSHOME.NET as the name.

i hope this will help.
