[Samba] Samba and 2 NIC's

Basically the situation is:

My main server has 2 NIC's

eth0 = 10/100 card 192.168.0.101/255.255.255.192
eth1 = gbit card 192.168.0.104

samba global config on the server

[global]
workgroup = GBNET
server string = Aries Fileserver
interfaces = 192.168.0.104/255.255.255.192, 127.0.0.1
bind interfaces only = Yes
null passwords = Yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SNDBUF=8192 RCVBUF=8192

The problem is this, although samba is bound to eth1's ip address, if i 
try to sonnect to samba using eth0, it fails, but if in unplug the cable 
in the eth0 card the transfers over samba die. looking at iptraf it 
seems all traffic is being routed over the first card, nothing is going 
out of the second card at all apart from network broardcasts. anyone 
actually managed to make something like this work? i am really stuck on 
this, anyone have any idea how to fix it?

Cheers

Joel
