You leave 127.0.0.1 as the address of 'localhost', the internal IP interface
on your machine. Make 192.168.1.[1-254] the address of eth0, which is the
name of the interface that the net will actually see.
Don't name an interface 192.168.0.0, since zeroes in net addresses are
sometimes seen as wildcards. And you can't use 255 because that's the
'broadcast' address.
Machines can have lots of interfaces (WAY more than two) and addresses belong
to interfaces, not to machines.
You should NEVER fool with localhost or with 127.0.0.1; BAD things will
happen. Plagues, famine, you name it.
