This is when you are not going to try and register IP's, etc. I have been using an network address 192.1.1.X, but with my FreeBSD 2.2.6 machine which is doing ppp -auto -alias, it looks up some of the addresses and shows the real name on the internet. IE, netstat -r shows TBN2000.COLUMBIA.BBN.COM as one of our local hosts. I definitely don't want that, so have decided to use the proper IP addresses for someone in our boat.
