    MSI BToes and NetGear RP614 ?

    Hi folks
    Do any of you know if its at all possible to have a NetGear RP614 router and a MSI BToes working together?
    My problem is...
    i have 3 pc's on the router and sharing the internet quite happily. Now i just bought a laptop and wanted it to connect to the already setup LAN via bluetooth. So i bought 2 MSI BToes 30m dongles. In the manual it says i need to enable internet connection sharing on the pc that talks to the laptop via bluetooth. Only problem is that i can't enable it as it says the ip on the LAN that it needs is already taken.
    I thought heh it could be 192.168.0.1 that it wants so i changed the router to 192.168.0.2 but it still doesnt work

    any ideas folks? any help is much appreciated.

    Belkin and a couple of other companies make a thing called a bluetooth access point so you plug it into the router you already have and it lets the bluetooth adaptor access the network like a wired pc.

    Can't you bridge the 2 connections in My Network Places? Highlight your LAN and the Bluetooth connection icons and right click bridge.

    Tried bridging but it killed my network but i found that changing my routers ip range to 192.168.200.x made ICS work and then everything else worked too
    Well sort of i still cant get the lappy to see the whole network but it does get internet
