Re: TCP/IP and NT

There is a guideline for IP addresses for private network.
The private address ranges are:
class A: 10.x.x.x
class B: 172.16.xx - 172.31.x.x
class C: 192.168.x.x

They will not be routed in the internet world so you are pretty safe (not
100%).
Also, you will not mix up your intranet with internet.  I suggest you to use
class C.
