Page 4 lists the address space reserved for private networks. Don't use
public IP addresses for private space, it will potentially screw up your
routing and ability to view web sites that fall into the public space if
your machine believes that it should all be public. Also, your switch
might already be programmed with public/private routing information
sending packets that you thought were going to be local out to the net.
