AAARgh....
Just when I thought you had found THE cause of all this, I remove the interface line in smb.conf, rename the log.nmbd file, kill the nmbd pid, restart nmbd, restart smbd, cross my fingers and toes, spit twice, turn aniclockwise seven times, and type ls /var/log/samba/log.nmbd, this is what I get:
[essentially the same problem -- trying to allocate port 137 on 192.168.0.1] OK, "one last test..." per the docs, the default is to assign this "on every broadcast capable network interface"; presumably your system does NOT have interface 192.168.0.1 "defined", so attempts to allocate on that network should not be happening "but they are..." What happens if you explicitly add in interfaces 192.168.0.99/255.255.255.0 [I believe .99 is the one you said was this host -- obviously, alter this if I'm wrong...] I'm beginning to think the error messages are a bit of a red herring -- you're getting this message for address 192.168.0.1, which presumably isn't defined [aside: try an "ifconfig" command at some point -- you might want to pipe this to "more/less" or increase the number of lines in your terminal in case this scrolls -- perhaps something "grabbed" this IP address, such as dhcp, so your system is trying both...] so the error messages may be entirely correct, but pointless -- the system may be successfully assigning/opening port 137 on IP address 192.168.0.99, just not reporting it... [though netstat would/should show listening on "0.0.0.0", which means "whereever it comes in"]
