This is more of a samba-specific issue. My first guess would be that
nmbd is listening on 0.0.0.0 interface and your server has more than one
interface to windows network configured - VIP interface and another one
(perhaps for administration). I think nmbd does so by default, even if
you have set smbd to listen on a specific interface - there is a
configuration option to disable this behaviour.

Or did I oversimplify the problem in some aspect?
