Rich, normally any router you'll be able to configure that via a wizard cd (I hate those) or manually...better and faster imho.
Think we've got out wires crossed somewhere!

The only reason my network is on a 192.168.100.x subnet is because I manually set it that way as I have a LAN-LAN VPN to my workplace network(for tech support reasons), and we have a VPN links to quite a few oher network using 192.168.x.x, so i chose a 192.168.x.x subnet well out of the way of what was allready in use.

Pre-configured settings are ideal for the vast majority of people, but in this case then the ADSL router needs manually configuring outside the range that everything else is using. Remember, it won't be being used as a router if it's setup the way that Rich has suggested.
