The following was downloaded and some changes were made, particularly in the documentation, but the basic structure is the same as contributed by Mr. Andreasson.

# your LAN's IP range and localhost IP. /24 means to only use the first 24 
# bits of the 32 bit IP adress. the same as netmask 255.255.255.0
#
# INET_IP is used by me to allow myself to do anything to myself, might
# be a security risc but sometimes I want this. If you don't have a static
# IP, I suggest not using this option at all for now but it's stil
# enabled per default and will add some really nifty security bugs for all
# those who skips reading the documentation=)
