Does anyone know if it's possible to change the IP range a snow ABS shares out when you're using NAT? Basically I want to connect my PC to the network at work via VPN. However, they use the same 10.0.1.x range of IP addresses that the ABS uses by default. Is there anyway I can change the range ABS gives out to, say, 10.0.0.x or even 192.168.x.x? Thanks in advance for any help.

P.S. I connect to the net through a cable modem with the ABS acting as my router, so NAT must be enabled.

I don't use an ABS, but isn't there an editable field listing the ABS' IP address? Change this to whatever you want.

Tried that. It requires that you have a static IP. I could set the ABS to use a static IP, but the next time there's a power outage I'd have to go mess with it again. I really would prefer to set my ABS to get its IP via DHCP.

That doesn't sound right. I'm talking about the IP of the device itself, not the internet address. Somewhere in the Airport s/w there has to be a place that lists the ABS' IP. Just change that to whatever you want.

There's a place where I can set the IP of the ABS to the outside world under the Internet tab. This is where I have it set to obtain its IP via DHCP from my cable provider (which happens to be 68.64.x.x). However, I don't see anything where I can change the IP internally. The default is for the ABS to use 10.0.1.1, but I don't see a field that lets me change the address to, say, 10.0.0.1.

Under the networking tab I have Distribute IP addresses checked, then Share a single IP address (using DHCP and NAT) selected.

In what app? There are two Airport apps that I see on my comps. Have you checked them both thoughouly? This is a pretty basic function, so I would imagine it is doable. You're probably over-thinking it cuz it's too obvious. Try running the setup assistant again.

You might consider changing it to something a little more different like 10.0.123.1. Once you find the right spot, of course.
