$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:A0:CC:33:14:D9  
          inet addr:192.168.0.32  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

192.168.x.x are private class-C networks (254 nodes).
127.16.x.x - 127.31.x.x are private class-B networks (65,024 nodes).
10.x.x.x is a private class-A network (16,777,214 nodes).

Use what you want, but be consistant.
