Broadband router local IP address

[machare]

Can the Vodafone broadband connect router be configured to use a local 10.x.x.x network rather than 192.168.x.x ?

Most of ISP supplied routers that I have encountered allow this, but I do have an old BT Home Hub which could not be so configured.

Set the IP address of your router and also configure the DHCP pool address range.

Is that 'yes' or 'no'?  i.e. could I set the router address to 10.0.0.139 (and have an appropriate DHCP range)? The BT hub I was trying to use would not accept that value.

The problem occurs with Firefox, IE and Chrome.  I did think that access to the chat had been stopped, which I have been assuming is the cause of the problem.

You should be able to, although when i last tried to do something similar the hub threw a tantrum and stopped anything else connecting.  

It appears you need to set the hub onto 10.0.0.1 if you want to be able to use all the 10.x.x.x subnet
