Well, you should check these two options in "man smb.conf":

interfaces = comma separated list of your interfaces
bind interfaces only = yes

I think, that you should use both. "interfaces" specify, what interfaces 
additionaly to interfaces found at starting time samba sould use. And 
when you use "bind interfaces only" you should not omit 127.0.0.1 in 
your interfaces line, because then samba will use only interfaces 
specified in "interfaces" option.
