	The 192.168. series of addresses should not be allowed out on
	to the Net. They were defined to be used within intranets that
	don't send packets out on to the Net. This means there should
	be no IP level connectivity between n/w using 192.168 and the
	outside world.

	You may use TCP ofcourse.

	This means your gateway should be explicitly configured to drop
	packets from your 192.168 n/w destined for any valid Net IP
	address. Also your router should not propogate routes to these
	addresses to the outside world.

	You should use a proxy to provide Net access to the machines
	on the 192.168

	You can find out more from rfc1918
