I'm supposed to be pinging 224, but it shows it pinging 183 which is

Ping statistics for 10.131.97.224:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

It's .224 which is unreachable, and it is .183 which is telling you so. The
'unreachable' messages wouldn't be counted as replies (just as error messages)
by any sensible operating system and the summary should stay 100% loss.
