Hi:thanks I have unchecked
that net-bios over TCP/IP
but I still get a lot of attacks via UDP port 137 /port 139
BTW:I do not have any file or printing sharing
so what is going on !!!
I would like to close port 139 and port 137
thanks in advance.

 

Hello,

As you have bind NetBIOS with NetBEUI protocol which is not portable, nothing is going on, and your port 137-139 are stealth from the outside.
Depending on you firewall and the way you log events what you see are just scans detected by your FW to which it does not respond. Most of them should come from infected servers by virus/worm opasoft seeking to find
sensible machines. Take it easy, no problem for you, furthermore you have no shares activated

Rgds,

 

Hi:thanks a lot
after I unchecked the net-bios over TCP/IP
every-time I tried To connect To the net (dial-up)
I get a prompt about entering My ISP password
and the box To save that password is grayed out
any idea
many thanks .

 

I think your best bet it to try it this way with the link I posted and forget about that other stuff.
