I would add that for Win2k and XP, particularly at home, take a long hard look at port 445 as well. Just why this port should be considered is best left as an exercise for the student. :-)

Off the top of my head: 135 136 137 138 139 You could do a search for NetBIOS TCP UDP and it should spit back the ports involved - block em all!! As for firewalls, it's better to block EVERYTHING and determine, what's needed. Then, open only those few. To engineer it the other way around is asking for trouble, and any product (Symantec, Gauntlet, Sidewinder, etc.) should offer you this ability, though it may take some time.
