IP numbers for internal use only are:

10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255 (Class A Network)
172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255 (16 Class B Networks)
192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255 (256 Class C Networks)

As a refresher:
A class "A" network can have up to 16 million unique numbers.
A class "B" network can have up to 64,000 unique numbers.
A class "C" network can have up to 254 unique numbers.

"RFC 1117 Assigned Numbers" I think covers how these internal numbers
should be used, and why most routers ignore them.
