How do I change the IP adress given for the shared connection?

Question

I currently have my desktop PC dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu. The PC has a wireless card installed. I run a LAN cable from the PC to my Xbox 360. In Windows 7, I can bridge the wireless and wired connections so that my Xbox gets an internet connection and its own IP address. From my router, I can then open ports to my Xbox that it needs.

When I boot into Ubuntu, however, I run into issues. I have the wired connection set to "Shared to other computers" under IPv4 settings as it should be. The Xbox then has internet connection. Instead of having a 192.x.x.x IP address which I could open ports to, however, it is given a 10.x.x.x address. My router won't allow me to open ports to this address since it's on a separate subnet.

Here's the question:

How can I change the connection share so that it keeps my Xbox on the same subnet?
