I was thought that was the purpose of the 'hosts allow' option in the
smb.conf file.

An excerpt from the comment that came in my smb.conf:

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
