How to change default subnet for Internet Connection Sharing on Windows

0

By default, when sharing an Internet connection with other network user's, their IP will belong to the 192.168.137.1/24 subnet.

To change this default value, one can change the registry: in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters

I changed the ScopeAddress and ScopeAddressBackup key to 192.168.1.1, and added a new entry StandaloneDHCPAddress, which I also set to 192.168.1.1. After restarting my PC, and checking in cmd, Internet access is still being shared on the default subnet.

Is there any step that I'm missing to enable this change?

I will appreciate any help you can provide.

Try to also set ScopeAddressBackup. – harrymc – 2018-07-10T15:41:52.747

@harrymc, thank you very much. I forgot to mention I also did that with no results. – David – 2018-07-11T12:31:52.820
