I found out that some of the documentation is now misleading. It references /etc/smb.conf but newer versions of Samba have the default config files in /etc/samba/smb.conf
The effect was the same as you described. What happened is that I told it to use eth1 as interface, but in the /etc/smb.conf which was ignored. The eth0 was on the firewall and that is what was defined in the /etc/samba/smb.conf. Once I overwrote that file with the one I wanted, it all worked.
