My ISP didnt block those ports so I got hacked by a little IPX program that came in the netbios ports. Now I have closed them both on my lan card and wan card. THen they tried to get in via samba ports since I use the linux server also as server for samba. Never do that. They got in through that door too.So now I dont use samba on the internet server.Masquerade didnt help much. They went in through that backdoor.Whole evening I had 10ths of hacking attempts. They dont seems to stop.

The default rule for any firewall should always to block *everything*.
Then open up only those ports that you absolutely need and then if you
can, restrict them to certain source addresses.

Many major ISPs here in the USA block 137-139 by default. I couldn't
open it if I wanted to (and I certainly don't).
