    Use a software firewall like zonealarm, which should block port 139
    (Netbios), 445, and many other ports, so you are not exposed on the
    Internet.

    Subject: locking down NetBios need help

    I am in an odd situation at the moment, very new to the scene and i am =
    currently trying to lockdown my home network from the world. I have =
    NetBios active over tcp/ip so i can easily access certain ends of my =
    system from my office. Now, what i am worried about it protecting the =
    system even though i have a nice password structure. Is there a Netbios =
    password tool, like a "cracker" i can run to test my passwords, all my =
    clients are on win2k, win 98 and two samba server on rh8. I cant get =
    any results other than script kiddy and hacking sites when looking for a =
    legit tool for checking passwords. Any help?
