Which means to access \\server\something is actually using port 137-139 of TCP and UDP also 445 of TCP? What does these ports does and why 137-139 must be both TCP and UDP? |

Let say if it is opened, the hackers/intruders should scan the ports, OK let say they got the port, how do they intrude anywhere? They can go thru \\servername becoz the "servername" does not meant anything to them right? The \\servername could be another machine than the real webserver running.... could be \\servername-alternative rite? |

Gigsvoo,
Follow jasonlambert's instructions exactly. In other words, if you are running a LAN -- be sure to block port 139 AT THE FIREWALL and not before it, otherwise you may lose your file and printer sharing rights within your network. Tom |

That is just another reason that I think requiring Netbios under windows (and haveing it enabled by default) or any OS is a bad idea. |

In the Well you can just unbind the NetBios in the NetWork setting to the external IP (I would still recoment that you fire wall the box) |

While NetBIOS was useful in it's time, that time is slowly drawing to a close. If you are using DNS for name resolution on your network (you no longer need WINS), and you have no applications which are dependent on it, you can disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP, and relieve some overhead from your network.
Right-click My network Places, and choose Properties. Right-click the Network connection to disable NetBIOS on (for instance, Local Area Connection), and choose Properties. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) under Components, then click the Properties button. Click the Advanced tab, and when the Advanced settings window appears, click the WINS tab. Select "Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" then click OK, OK, OK. |
