9.0, Samba and two NICs

Hi!

I have been running Samba on FreeBSD 9.0 with a wireless card. A share
is connected to my W7 computer. To get more speed between the
computers, I decided to activate the 1GBit- Ethernet on the FreeBSD
and establish a direct connection (cross-link) to the W7. I gave the
new connection a static IP/subnet: 10.0.0.2/255.0.0.0 for the FreeBSD
and 10.0.0.1/255.0.0.0 for the W7. SSH works fine, however Samba is
utilizing the wireless card.

My smb.conf looks something like this:

..
;The 192-address is the wireless, ath0. 10.0.0.2 is age0
interfaces = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.232 10.0.0.2
bind interfaces only = yes
; the two latter is the IPs of the W7
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.117 10.0.0.1


If I remove the 192* in the hosts allow, my W7 looses access via smb.

netstat tells me that it is listening to both interfaces.

What might be wrong?


Thanks.
