192.168.1.127 is a HOST address for a standard class C network so it can be assigned to a PC, printer etc.

The address of the network address for this network is 192.168.1.0 (so you cannot use this for a HOST device)
The broadcase address for the network is 192.168.1.255 (so you cannot use this address for a HOST device)
So you cannot assign the NETWORK IP address or the BROADCAST address to a host.
