ip address confusion

[Michael Havens]

here is my before setup: I live in a mobile house with a porch that has
been converted into a room. my internet runs from my living room.that runs
4 feet to the right to an XBMC box. then I was running wirelessly to the
next room for my office computer. Then my brother moved in. at that point
I ran a line from my modem to the office and to the wall in the office that
was about 50 feet. I put a wall plate in and ran a line under the house to
my brothers room (the one that was a porch). My brothers computer was a
windows machine so the modem/router assigned it the ip 192.168.0.2 with the
XBMC being 192.168.0.3 and the office computer being 192.168.0.4 . I then
created a bunch of virtual machines  for Linux from Scratch and then bought
a used xp machine ($20) to designate for LFS. So I needed to hook the
internet to it so this is why I was asking a month ago about connecting
another  router to my system..... so I didn't need to run another 50 foot
cable. So now the 50 foot cable runs to the other router and that feeds my
brothers computer  and the new computer. Here is the confusion. I
configured the other router to asssign numbers from 192.168.0.125 to
192.168.0.254  but my brothers computer is still 192.168.0.2 and the new
computer 's ip is 192.168.0.14. Why isn't it 192.168.0.125 and why isn't my
brother's computer (which is now MX14 <antix/mepis corroboration which are
debian derivatives>) now something  like 192.168.0.126 ?
