There are three ranges of private IP addresses. They consist of 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, and 172.16.x.x through 172.31.x.x. An IP address of this type would not be visible beyond the LAN to which you connected. I am not sure how this would work, as the DNS servers and gateway that the machine would need for outbound access would have to be updated. If you are trying to get a machine to have the same IP address no matter when or where it is attached to the same network, you can put that information into the DHCP configuration file for that network so that it will assign a certain address based upon the MAC address.
