The block 192.168.x.x is for private network (class c) use the netmask
255.255.255.0 to define a class c network, and the 192 numbers, you will
want pick any number between 1 and 255 for the 3rd number, and a unique
number for each host on the 4th number (between 1 and 255). Its a good
idea to make your first one 1, and make it your gateway if you do masqing
(since the documentation on ipmasq does...) so.... your networks could be:
192.168.42.1
192.168.42.2
192.168.42.3
192.168.42.4
192.168.42.5
....
if you dont like 42, chose an number you do like, and just stick to it!
