Yes, that's correct. Use that address in the commands I gave.

You give them the same address as their gateway. The following URL gives
instructions how to do this for Win95/98, but it's pretty similar for

You would give 10.0.0.138 as the gateway address. The instructions say
you need a reboot for the network changes to take effect, but this step
is unnecessary with NT (even though it suggests on).
