You can get Samba to run on the same machine with a little care. For 
instance, you can configure it to only use one interface, so you can tell it 
to totally ignore the dialup interface.

Also, make sure that all requests on ports 137, 138 and 139 are DENIED or 
REJECTED from the dialup interface, and you should be set. Get a friend with 
a port scanner to check your machine, or use the shields up tool on 
www.grc.com to test if Samba is accessible from the outside world.
