Pls clarify exactly what you want to do (& why).
FYI, the range 192.168.x.x is reserved for private lan addresses ie should never be exposed to the internet.
See http://www.faqs.org/docs/linux_netwo...addresses.html

In a private network, you might have DHCP (dynamic addresses assigned by a server) or static addresses (manually assigned).
If you have static, you might accidentally assign the same address to 2 different machines.
This will cause major issues.
On the internet, your address is assigned by your ISP.
Try reading this page and it's links.

Since someone else is using that IP address, you will need to change yours. If the network has a dhcp server, then your job is a lot easier. Besides the IP address, you need to change the gateway address and the nameserver address. Also, the IP address you choose needs to be in the same subnet as the other hosts in your lan. Using DHCP, all of these items will be set up automatically.

IP addresses must be unique, like telephone numbers. If multiple people had the same telephone numbers, how would you know which one you would connect to when you called? Same thing with IPs. IPs must be uniquely mapped to hosts. Failure to do this correctly can cause problems for ALL hosts that are exposed to the fault (not just the misconfigured hosts).
