Hrm. I'm not sure that this is an 'error', but merely samba adding the
interface automatically for the ethernet device. Right off, I'd disable the
eth device that goes to the outside world, so it will *NEVER* go in that
direction. It then says it cannot connect to the server, which, as you say
later, he may not have been able to do anyway, becouse sharing may not have
been enabled..

Yup. I don't think it was sending the request out, it was just checking the
configured interfaces, and adding them as it saw them. But hey, I could be
dead wrong..

Yep, it's just the printing of the 'interface discovery' me thinks.. I'd
disable it for the external interface right quick.
