Well, 10/8 and 172.16/12 and 192.168/16 are the ranges reserved (by RFC 1918) for private nets. Your 10/8 set up could still run in to problems, but it's much less likely too because the IP address space is so much larger. -Nick _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
