According to RFC1918 "Address allocation for private internets"
you can use:

10.0.0.0        -   10.255.255.255  (10/8 prefix)
172.16.0.0      -   172.31.255.255  (172.16/12 prefix)
192.168.0.0     -   192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)

I've seen the 10.* used a lot in the corporate environment, and
192.168.* used a lot by vendors for anything with ethernet capability.
Never
seen the 172.16 used anywhere.

I use the 10.* net at home, coz it's less typing. And it gives me delusions
of grandeur ;)
