Weird stuff. You did restart samba after reconfiguring the network,
right? Email me /etc/smb.conf and the output of 'route -n' directly,
and I'll see if I can spot any glaring errors ;)

The kernel always does routing, but the samba server has to know what
networks it is attached to, and how to properly address its packets for
broadcast.
I don't think it should make a lot of difference what interface the LAN is
connected to, unless you have the "interfaces" specified incorrectly in
/etc/smb.conf
