 Are you sure that the broadcast address should be .127, and not e.g. .255?
 I think that the broadcast address should fall within the netblock
 specified by the address and the netmask.  .127 is definitely not within
 the upper 128 addresses of the /24 block, as specified by an IP address
 of .129 and a netmask of 0xffffff80.
 
 G'luck,
 Peter
