what kind of modem are you connected to - brand and model number - and
who is your ISP. whatever you are connecting to is already a private
class IP range (NAT) and you've got double NAT going on here which is
a bad situation. are you actually plugged into another router or modem
that is part of an all in one device that acts as a router?

You may want to check out the following articles over at
http://support.micosoft.com

817463 MSBBN: HOW TO: Configure a Wireless Access Point

817461 MSBBN: How to Set up a USB Satellite Connection to Use Internet
Connection Sharing

In the second article just ignore the section titled "Setup Internet
Connection Sharing on the Computer with the Satellite Connection" & you
should be set.

That will make it so that you are no longer using NAT behind NAT.
Something you never should do.

The lease time setting *you* are modifying is for the LAN side.

Based on your log, whereever the DHCP server is on the WAN side of the
router is (presumably your ISP) gives you leases of two hours.

What you are seeing is normal (wrt to DHCP lease times).
