I don't know for what reasons, but 90.0.0.x is guaranteed not to be
routed, so it's not "just any old network". At least, that's what some old
tool told me, and it happened to be the one to which I was introduced
before 192.168.1.*.

Like I said in my original post: "I don't remember what is usually used",
meaning that it's not the one usually recommended. So everyone, use
192.168.1.*, not 90.0.0.* to be on the safe side!

I eavesdrop here to learn about linux 'cause I don't know much about it. I
definitely don't know everything. Criticism always welcome.
