The router (make/model?) probably allows you to set a range. The addresses on your LAN should be within one of the private IP ranges:

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
169.254.0.0 -169.254.255.255

I use 192,168.0.1 - 192.168.0.255 which is the default for my Netgear DG834.

If you can't find you router info for some reason, you could try pinging your PCs by name. Also you may have ifconfig, winipcfg or ipconfig - seems Win had different ones on different versions.
