We DO pick 10.0.0.x and it caused me some probs, but MOST of these NAT
router things you buy use 192.168.x.x. However, if its using Nat, it
doesnt matter. It only gets you when the local PC has 10.0.0.something,
and they have a modem dialing in on that PC and ALSO getting 10.0.0.
something.  You could just pick 10.0.1.something.
