Now what does 192..168.0.0/8 and 192.168.0.0/32 mean? I thought one was an absolute number.

192.168.0.0/8 = 255.0.0.0 so won't work. 192.0.0.0/8 will. You are trying to use class A subnetting on a class B network address.
192.168.0.0/32 = 255.255.255.255 won't work, 192.168.0.1/32 will. You are trying to lock down to a single address and and a 0 and the last position specifies a network not a host.
As I remember my early training.
Actually, as I recall it, the /32 would be used on a point to point link, where there is only one address.
