In your previous post, you stated that you had a /26 subnet from .128
to .191. This output indicates a /29 subnet, which would explain why
you can't use any IP address where the bottom 3 bits are either 000 or
111.

Also, 208.226.220.128 isn't a valid broadcast address.

The same applies to all of the other 42 alias interfaces.
