What type of network has an ip address of 192.168.168.27/28?
No single network station would have that as an i.p. address.
I suspect that you may be looking at two computers/workstations, one
with an address of 192.168.168.27 and the other with an address of
192.168.168.28
In that case you could be looking at just about any network that uses
the TCP/IP protocol and which is not connected to the Internet or
which does so via a router or via dial-up connection.
I.P. addresses in the 192.168.nnn.nnn sequence, where nnn is any value
from 0 to 255, are classed as non-routable i.p. addresses as part of
the TCP/IP design specification. They are used on local networks
around the world. Most home cable/dsl routers include a DHCP server
which assigns i.p. addresses in this sequence to computers connect to
the router's LAN ports.
Hope this explains the situation.
