Just a note on which IP address to use. If you are going to be setting up a
network that has internet access but you will not have an Internet IP
address for each computer on the network you must be careful about which IP
numbers are used. At the moment I can't remember the ranges for class A and
B networks (For bigger organizations these two) but I know for class C
networks you should use the range of 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. This
range has been set aside for private networks and should be used as such.
If you need access to the internet for all of the computers you will want to
look up IP-Masquerading (covered in the same named HOWTO).
If you knew this already, I apologize. This is just one of the things I had
some problems with when I was starting up with Linux.
