The error message is telling you that you do not have a network interface:
i.e.. you do not have an Ethernet card (NIC)

You are using the ip that is used for broadcasts as the ip number of
your server. That doesn't sound good.

192.168.1.225 is not a broadcast address.

Akshaysalkar, please provide the output to these three commands:

$ ifconfig
$ netstat -rn
$ ping -c 1 10.160.128.152

reado by joel - or typo from aksaysalkar
192.168.1.225 != 192.168.1.255

alsaysalkar:
what does 'ifconfig' say on your machine?

It seems strange to me that your password server is on 10.160 when your
samba box is on an entirely different network 192.168

they're both in the private IP space so it's possible but seems strange.
make sure you can route between those if it is correct.

This is NOT a broadcast address:

192.168.1.255 is the broadcast address.

A broadcast address is one in which all bits in the host portion of the IPv4
address have been set to 1 as recommended by RFC 919.

This excludes 192.168.1.225 unless coupled with a specific mask.

Yes, I think I misread your ip address.
Sorry.
