I have a router with IP 192.168.0.1 on subnet 255.255.255.0. I have 2 PC's on that network using DHCP from the rounter with the range of 192.168.0.2 thru 51. I just got a USB/bluetooth device on one of my PC to connect wirelessly to a PDA to access the internet. When I try to enable Internet sharing on the PC I get IP address conflict because it's trying to use the same address as the router. How can I override ICS default on the PC or what are valid IP and subnet addresses to set on the router? any help is greatly appreciated

Disable internet connection sharing.

Run the network setup wizard(start-> network connections) and choose other, then choose all my computers connect through a hub.

The router sounds like it is configured correctly. The IP conflicts are probably a result of ICS.
