This is the so called loopback device which is available on EVERY ip connected
machine. Your ethernet is called "eth0" not "lo" ...

Normal - You initialized your "loopback" interface perfectly. Means you
are able to reach yourself ...

You MUST have a broadcast address - This one might be wrong but it looks

Please have a look at your routingtabe (netstat -rn) and try to ping
the destination for your network "0.0.0.0" (default)
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
