Per W.

I don't understand. Could you expand please.

In SBS 2003, with 2 NIC configuration one could use any, repeat any IP
address and mask you want for internal network configuration. It is not
routed to the external world. It is completely internal to your own
network. (that is why we use NAT)

Worked at a school district that used building number first octet, then
building floor, followed by classroom, then seat. Worked great, and had no
problems. Again, completely with in local intranet. Last I heard, it was
important to use IP scheme other than 10.x.x.x or 192.x.x.x for heavy used
routed wireless LANs.

I thought that it was only by tradition, and only tradition, that we started
using the 10.x.x.x and 192.x.x.x for internal networks. If this has
changed, please pass the word.

TIA
