I don't know the exact issues that would cause an error message of 'no
subnets to listen to' but generally, it is expected that if your
192.168.0 network, that would be a class 'C' network (255.255.255.0
subnet mask) and thus a broadcast address of 192.168.0.255 would be
assumed for wins traffic.
Perhaps you have some other subnet mask in use (255.255.254.0) or
whatever, but if you are not running a wins server on your lan and this
samba server is pretty much the master server, you could easily just
add...
wins support = yes
which would probably solve the error you are getting. This is simply a
guess.
