Just a piece of trivia regarding "interface = ..." in your Samba 
configuration file.

I found out the hard way that unless you also add the line "bind interfaces 
only = yes" underneath of the "interface" line, SMB will still be bound to 
all interfaces.

To test your external interface, you should visit "www.grc.com" and use 
"Shields Up" and click on "Probe My Ports" to find out if indeed your SMB 
port 139 ass is hanging out to dry with your SMB Linux server.

"bind interfaces only = yes" is not listed as a remarked comment anywhere in 
the default smb.conf file.
