 There are three private network ranges:

 Almost always, you can find a range that's not going to be used by
any other NIC in the system. If my home network is on a 10.x subnet,
for example, and I'm letting people dial up via modem to a 192.168.x
range, I could use a 172.16.x address range for DUN.
