: when you are using 192.1.x.y on your private lan, this will obscure
: the hosts that really have this address on the net. check rfc1597.

In short,

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the
following three blocks of the IP address space for private networks:

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

(straight quote from rfc1597).
