192.168.1.3 is a private IP address that is sometimes used on local networks. Home networks, particularly those with Linksys broadband routers, often use this address along with other addresses in the range beginning with 192.168.1.1. A router can automatically assign 192.168.1.3 to each device on the local network, or an administrator can do this manually.

Computers and other devices that support Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) obtain their IP addresses automatically from a router. The router decides which address to assign from the range it is set to manage. When the router is set up with a network range between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.255, it takes one address for itself, usually 192.168.1.1, and maintains the rest, or a subset of the remaining addresses, in a pool. Normally, the router assigns these pooled addresses in sequential order, starting with 192.168.1.2, then 192.168.1.3, then 192.168.1.4, and so on, although the order is not guaranteed.
Computers, game consoles, phones, and most other modern networking devices allow for manual IP address assignment. However, simply typing in your IP number does not guarantee that the device will be able to use it. The network you are on may use 10.xxx addresses, in which case assigning a 192.168.1.3 address simply will not work. The same goes for similar addresses. If your router is handing out addresses from its pool of 192.168.2.1 and so on, you cannot expect a statically assigned 192.168.1.3 to work.
Most networks dynamically assign private IP addresses using DHCP. It is also possible to manually assign 192.168.1.3 to a device using a fixed or static address assignment, but this is not recommended on home networks due to the risk of an IP address conflict. Many home network routers default to 192.168.1.3 in their DHCP pool and do not check to see if that IP address has already been manually assigned to a client before automatically assigning it to a client. In a worst case scenario, two different devices on the network are assigned 192.168.1.3, one manually and the other automatically, resulting in failed connection issues for both devices.
