I'm pretty sure that somebody ment that finishing zero's are
unacceptable, since these are the adresses of the network.  So e.g.
from experience I know that if you do 
ping 123.45.67.0,
in theory all machines on that subnet could reply, in practice,
certainly Linux Redhat 4.2 (i486) AND Mac PowerPC System 7.4 do
reply,  don't know anymore what about M$.

But there's no harm in using 192.168.0.1 etc. as ip-adress.  I even
think that that adress is used pretty often.
