Just in case anyone cares, it's usually 192.168.1.1.  The reason
(people that don't care about networking should skip to the next
message now) is that there are three network addresses that are
intended for local networks that are never connected to the internet.
These are sometimes called "unroutable addresses," though they
are not in fact unroutable, or more correctly "private network
addresses" or occasionally "RFC 1597 addresses," because that
is the document that describes them.

Each set of addresses is of a different size.  They are

   192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.255
   172.16.0.0 - 172.32.255.255
   10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
