The netmask for 192.168.*.* is usually exactly that, i.e., 255.255.0.0.  
You may or may not have set things up more tightly.  For instance, my 
network has first one router, with 192.168.254.* under its control, of 
which one element is another router, with 192.168.2.* under its control.  
If anything outside those two ranges appear on my network, Something Is 
Wrong.
