What Larry said.

Though you can use a 10.x.x.x network as long as it does not overlap your 
other 10.x.x.x network at all, you might want to use one of the other 
private address ranges simply so that you can tell at a glance which is which.

Your other choices are 192.168.x.x and 172.16.x.x to 172.31.x.x.
