You may not want to use that subnet though, it belongs to Johns Hopkins
University in Baltimore, MD. If you ever put those machines on the
Internet it could cause you grief. Better to use the acceptable, private
network, address subnet, 198.168.x.x NETMASK 255.255.255.0 (there are two
other private subnets for large LANs too, but they are obviously beyond the
scope of this discussion).
