Whenever possible I avoid 192.168.x.x in business networks. It often causes conflicts when a home-user needs a VPN. I like to use IP addressing related to that physical address that gives me a clue about where the machine is. For example, for a network located at 955 West XXXXth, I would use 10.9.55.x for the LAN. Of course, this only works for smallish networks, but that's all I deal with so it works for me ;-) -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 Security Blog: http://geoapps.com/ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
