Yes.  The first and last IP of a netblock are not usable.  Since the
netmask is 255.255.255.0, that means that 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.1.255
are not usable as addresses.  They are reserved for network usage.  Your
usable addresses are from .1 to .254.  Most people use either .1 or .254
for the gateway outbound (and in recent years, most seem to be using .1)

Change your IP and that's one problem that will go away.
