Good luck with that. My cable provider, Virgin Media (UK), supplies DHCP 
information via a server in the 10.x.x.x range, and I regularly see 
misconfigured hosts on the wire with 192.168.x.x addresses.

Not that any of that gets past my firewall, of course, but it's better to be 
safe and use the reserved ranges internally.

Of course, 192.15.x.x may have been assigned to him by his ISP...
