Archival: RFC 1918 - Address Allocation for Private Internets
From RFC 1918 (rfc1918) - Address Allocation for Private Internets:
3. Private Address Space The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix) 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix) We will refer to the first block as '24-bit block', the second as '20-bit block', and to the third as '16-bit' block. Note that (in pre-CIDR notation) the first block is nothing but a single class A network number, while the second block is a set of 16 contiguous class B network numbers, and third block is a set of 256 contiguous class C network numbers.Because I never can remember 172.16.0.0!

I'm not going to include the laptop for now (I don't think I can configure it the way I want it to configure anyway!). all using submask 255.255.255.0. I could probably tighten the mask down, but I don't care. I'd use the 10s, but since I already spy Comcast/AT&T using the 10 universe, I think I'll pass for now. This is in addition to the 192.168.0.xxx addresses that the Linksys passes out.
1 My next router will definately be a D-Link! Linksys support is totally worthless when I ask for/about assigning IPs according to MACs for internal use (they keep sending me information about setting the MAC for the ISP end. Duh! I got that! But D-Link has it working right out of the box, and that was some time ago!
Reminder, next time the Linksys router blows up on me (twice so far, never had it happen with the D-Link), update the firmware. Or sooner. Permanent link posted by bytehead @ 3/15/2004 03:14:00 PM
