One of two ways: * /etc/init.d/network * /etc/network/interfaces > 2. do I need to do a 'route add -net <192.168.0> dev eth0' aside > from specifying the ip add and netmask?

You entered the wrong password, obviously. What are the contents the [global] section in smb.conf? According to the log below, you're missing the smbpasswd file (the list of encrypted NT LanMan passwords).
