This sounds like your NT system has not been properly harden. Here is a doc
I use for hardening NT systems. I have installed several (15) Checkpoint
firewalls on NT and after hardening them, they work flawlessly.

Subject: [FW1] NT talking with NBNAME to whole world?
Hi list
Another neat problem on an NT firewall system I "inherited": I noticed after
activating the logging for the standard drop rule that the firewall system
itself was talking Netbios nbname service to systems in Argentina, USA asf.
I stopped that by unchecking "Accept outgoing packets" and setting the
interface direction to "eitherbound".
My question is: Why would this system do that, has it probably already been
hacked? There were so many different sites it was doing the nbname to I
wonder what it means?
Cheers
Ralf
