Tell your SAMBA daemon that the broadcast address of the interface is
192.168.0.255. For some strange reasons, it often gets it wrong (just
like it does in your case). That's not your main problem, though.

There's the reason. A TCP/IP network uses IP addresses from the same
range to identify networks and network routes. Since your Linux box
uses 192.168.0.1, your Windows PC's NIC must get an address from out
of the same subnet . e.g., 192.168.0.2; otherwise, there's no way for
these systems to communicate via TCP/IP.
