Take a look in your sendmail.mc file for a line that says:
 DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

Make sure you remove the "Addr=127.0.0.1" part of the line, so that your

sendmail can lisen on your ethX interface, not only the 127.0.0.1
interface (localhost).

So, your modified line should read:
 DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Name=MTA')dnl

And restart the sendmail deamon after changing the sendmail.mc file.
