I don't believe it is possible to set this range with any reasonable
amount of effort.
The reason is that the 169.x.x.x range is specifically set up for
APIPA use, and by definition, an APIPA address is in that range.
You might be able to accomplish the same thing with a customized DHCP
server on each computer. If you are interested in that, I'm sure I
could find more information.
