Thomson TG585 v7 - can I change LAN to be 10.0.0.x range?

Simple question, just can't figure it out!
With my previous router, it went:
router: 10.0.0.1
pc: 10.0.0.2
other stuff: 10.0.0.x
For various reasons, I need that 10.0.0.x ip allocation back, and not the 192.168.x range that this Thomson works on.
I've been to http://192.168.1.254/cgi/b/intfs/_intf_/cfg/?be=0&l0=4&l1=1&name=LocalNetwork but I can't quite figure it out, the help button brings up an empty page, and googling just gets others asking the same.
Thanks for any help.
PS - I'm on Software Release: 8.2.23.0 - does that look about right?

Have a read of http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=TG585-v7_SetupUserGuide_en.pdf&btnG=Google+Search&fp=849006...
I would upload it, but apparently 2MBytes is too much for a file.

That looks great, thanks, but I might be being really thick here, but I just can't see anything about configuring the DHCP pool on the local lan.

Yes - this is true Sad
If you feel a bit brave etc you could use telnet as described at http://www.jpdw.org/tg585/dhcp-configuration
Haven't tried it myself - my Thomson router packed up a couple of months ago.

I think this thread http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php?topic=72339.msg572771 might help you

Well, between your link, that provided by MisterW, a bit of guesswork, a dash of telnet and a lot of luck I appear to now be operating on the 10.0.0.1 network, but as someone said on that other thread, how and why have they made something so simple so tricky??
Anyway, all sorted. Thanks!
