    I've been looking at my logs and see the following:

    In || Remote: 61.143.182.138 Port 30110 || Local: 192.168.1.105 Port 1026
    (nterm)
    Out || Remote: 61.143.182.138 Port 137 (netbios-ns) || Local: 192.168.1.105
    Port 137 (netbios-ns)

    In || Remote: 221.167.0.195 Port 1446 (ora-lm) || Local: 192.168.1.105 Port
    27374
    Out || Remote: 221.167.0.195 Port 137 (netbios-ns) || Local: 192.168.1.105
    Port 137 (netbios-ns)

    I've run several port scans aginst me system and they all say that I'm ok,
    but what is this outbound traffic on port 137??
