Anything ending in .0 is a network address.  You can't use it for a
single machine.  Change "IP" to something like 172.16.0.10

Not sure there, but I expect there's a conflict due to the other problem.
The route probably isn't being set up.

So, in summary, your network should be 172.16.0.0
and your Linux box's address should be 172.16.0.X
where X is between 1 and 254.  (255 is another reserved number)
