Re: Windows File Sharing: Facing The Mystery
said by TheWiseGuy  :I could be wrong but I believe he is correct, that on a Win9x or before box, it is impossible to only bind NetBios to the Internal Adapter, that on a Win9x box it is all or nothing. And I could be wrong as well, but I don't think I am.
Remember the issue is that a very specific scenario has to exist in order to share files over the Internet. You need TCP/IP bound to File and Print Sharing for the Internet-facing adapter. If you only have TCP/IP installed, but it's not bound to TCP/IP on that adapter, it fails.
It is my understanding that you can break bindings on the external adapter while keeping them intact on the internal one. This warrants more testing, however, as I haven't done this in quite some time.
Thanks for the comment; I'll definitely confirm this.

I have never tested this myself, I know that port 139 does listen on all interfaces but I don't think that proves that Sharing is bound to the external adapter. I read Steve's info years ago and always figured it was correct, but testing it certainly is the correct way to go.
