A better and secure approach is to unbind the netbios resources from the
adapter. The easier ways is to place a personal firewall in place.

All personal firewalls are OK as far as blocking is concerned. They all
block. Some of them are more configurable than others, but they all
block. But do you want to have animated icons and noisy alarms everytime
some strange thing goes inside? Well, get almost any out there...they
all have *nice* sounds and pictures.

Oh dear Gauntlet, why didnt you make a "personal" version? Hehe.
