I noticed this problem on a Solaris machine which had a network interface (le0:1) as well as a 
physical (le0), where both IP addresses were in the same subnet.  No matter how I tried to 
configure samba, the only way I could stop this was to take down the second IP address.
Is there any way to stop broadcast reception on an interface either in the Solaris or the 
Samba config?

Hope this is of use,

Matt.
