We were talking about port 445 - Windows SMB sharing.  Unless there's some
really obscure registry hack I've never heard off, I don't know how to make
that listen on specific interfaces/IPs.  Sure on *NIX using Samba, you could do
it, but the vast majority of machines using this port are Windows boxes. 
Firewalling is your only option.
