This is from the TCP/IP FAQ at http://www.dc.net/ilazar/tcpipfaq/

  2. What IP addresses should I assign to machines on a private
     internet?

     You shouldn't use IP addresses that have been assigned to some
     other organisation, because if knowledge of your network ever gets
     leaked onto the Internet they may disrupt that innocent
     organisation's activity. RFC 1918 provides a solution for this
     problem by allocating several IP address ranges specifically for
     use on private networks.  These addresses will never be assigned
     to any organisation and are never supposed to appear on the
     Internet. The ranges are:

             Class A: 10.0.0.0    through 10.255.255.255
             Class B: 172.16.0.0  through 172.31.255.255
             Class C: 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255
