You are sure?

A string that ends with a `.' character. A host
address is matched if its first numeric fields
match the given string. For example, the pattern
`131.155.' matches the address of (almost) every
host on the Eindhoven University network
(131.155.x.x).
[...]
An expression of the form `n.n.n.n/m.m.m.m' is
interpreted as a `net/mask' pair. A host address is
matched if `net' is equal to the bitwise AND of the
address and the `mask'. For example, the net/mask
pattern `131.155.72.0/255.255.254.0' matches every
address in the range `131.155.72.0' through
`131.155.73.255'.
[...]
Then you have to use `192.168.1.' or `192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0' .
