Windows SMB ports. I'm not a big fan of port blocking, but O@H are
on the ball with this one... Most Win9x users wouldn't have the
faintest idea that their printers and filesystems are open to the
world (if they're shared, that is). A few months ago there was a
huge amount of downloading going on on the @Home network in the
US... They caught on pretty quick.

As long as they mention it when you sign up, they're doing okay.
