simply deployed more devices using IP than there are unique IP
               addresses available. Fortunately, the early designers of the internet

               and TCP/IP had good foresight and put aside a few blocks of addresses
               for private, unrestricted use. These IP addresses, commonly called the
               private IP addresses, are defined in RFC 1918. They are as follows:

                    10.0.0.0–10.255.255.255 (a full Class A range)

                    172.16.0.0–172.31.255.255 (16 Class B ranges)

                    192.168.0.0–192.168.255.255 (256 Class C ranges)









                   Can’t NAT Again!


                  On several occasions we’ve needed to re-NAT an already NATed
                  network. This might occur in the following situations:


                      You need to make an isolated subnet within a NATed network
                      and attempt to do so by connecting a router to host your new
                      subnet to the single port offered by the existing network.

                      You have a DSL or cable modem that offers only a single
                      connection but you have multiple computers or want to add
                      wireless to your environment.

                  By connecting a NAT proxy router or a wireless access point, you

                  are usually attempting to re-NAT what was NATed to you initially.
                  One configuration setting that can either make or break this setup
                  is the IP address range in use. It is not possible to re-NAT the same
                  subnet. For example, if your existing network is offering
                  192.168.1.x addresses, then you cannot use that same address
                  range in your new NATed subnet. So change the configuration of

                  your new router/WAP to perform NAT on a slightly different
                  address range, such as 192.168.5.x, so you won’t have the conflict.
                  This seems obvious, but it is quite frustrating to troubleshoot the
                  unwanted result without this insight.
