Try:

	interfaces = eth0 lo
	bind interfaces only = Yes

You only need hosts allow/deny if there is a risk/possiblity of foreign

Oh. Well the interfaces/bind thing is meant for Samba servers and I can
not see how you are doing that is you are not running smbd/nmbd. Nice one!

PS: If you are using smbfs, that is NOT samba.
