Ports 137-139 serve SMB over NetBIOS over TCP/IP. This is the transport used by LANMAN versions before Windows 2000 (Windows 3.x, NT 3.x, NT 4.x, Windows 95/98/Me, etc.). Port 445 is Microsoft's direct SMB over TCP (no NetBIOS in the middle) the preferred method for Windows 2000 and XP - should be a cleaner way to work with, but I do not know it well yet... Correct me if I had any mistake here. -- Tom -- Tom Alsberg - hacker (being the best description fitting this space) Web page: http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~alsbergt/ DISCLAIMER: The above message does not even necessarily represent what my fingers have typed on the keyboard, save anything further.
