Thanks to you and Alex for the replies.  Yes it is a home type network
and uses the 10.0.0.x range.  I was thinking of giving myself 10.0.0.88
which is within the range but well outside the ones likely to be used. 
As an alternative I suppose I could give myself a fixed one in the
192.168.x.x range which I think should work.
