Configuring IP and network address for Windows Mobile Hotspot
es flag

I'm using Windows Mobile Hotspot on my laptop to share its Internet connection with other devices.

It sets up a DHCP service, using 192.168.137.1 as the gateway address, and leasing out addresses on 192.168.137.xxx network.

How can I change these settings? Suppose I want my gateway address to be 192.168.13.37, and the users of the Mobile Hotspot to be assigned 192.168.13.xxx addresses.
