192.168.0.1 router weirdness vs ICS

Awhile ago I helped a neighbor setup their DLink WiFi router.
I recall having some Windows issues
trying to get setup and connect directly to the router @ 192.168.0.1...
Most of my stuff is all at 192.168.1.xxx

I was wondering if others have run into these bumps
trying to get XP, Vista, etc - connected directly to a router @ 192.168.0.1
vs having Windows think it's Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

Hmmm,
You're in control of all the settings. You can even change the router
address if you want and manually set IP address for devices or let the
Windows do it on it's own, then it'll create confusion 'coz every time
things would look different. I have a three level(basement to upstairs)
home network with mixed OS, WXP, Vista, 7 and Apple Mabook plus
wireless network printer on dual band router. Everything works just fine.

let me clarify - we've setup devices lots of times....
just not with the default IP of 192.168.0.1
I needed to connect to it directly and config -
so did the usual static IP assign, and set things up.
but... in getting some of the other computers in the house to connect,
it seemed like anything involving the 192.168.0.1 address caused some grief
or conflict or confusion.
It's been awhile - so don't recall the details exactly....
but it was like Windows was trying to connect via ICS...

Anyway - was over there today, as they got hit with a website malware
drive-by.....
Booted into Safe Mode - deleted the bogus stuff from the RUN registry area,
reset the "proxy checkmark" for the browser, and deleted some of the bogus
files...
All is better - but was recalling when I stumbled across the .0.1 IP address
speed bump.

vs seeing the router....
