A slight piece of misinformation has crept into this article:

"The most common is probably 192.168.0.x (where x is any number up to 999)"

x may be any number from 1 to 254 (or rather 0 to 255, but 0 and 255 have special meaning, and so are not used).

I know that - I think the original said that - it's highly unlikely I would have got it wrong, as some days I do nothing but configuring IP connections. But maybe I did.
