   No, you can change the LAN IP of the DI-524 to be whatever you like, and   
   the DHCP scope will be modified accordingly.

   This happens because your laptop sees that the IP address you're trying   
   to reach, is in the same IP network as its own address. It then tries to   
   locate the other computer on the (wireless) LAN, and fails. The DI-524   
   is not involved at all.

   Two ways:   
      
   1. Disable the DHCP server on the DI-524 and move the cable connecting   
   the DI-524 to the school network from the WAN port to one of the LAN   
   ports. The DI-524 will now act as a wireless bridge.   
      
   2. Change the LAN IP of the DI-524 to some other private IP address.   
   This will also change the DHCP scope. Your wireless network is now a   
   separate IP subnet (NATed behind whatever IP address the DI-524 gets   
   from the DHCP server on the school network), and you will be able to   
   reach nodes on the 192.168.0.0/24-network.
