Google for RFC 1918. There are two other network ranges, one of which is 10/8. The idea is that 192.168/24 gives you 256 class C addresses, then there's a class B address, can't remember what it is, and 10/8 is a class A address. All of these are defined as "not routeable over the public network", so any interface between two networks is supposed to drop any such packets. Cheers, Wol
