Hi Christopher
I am not an expert, but it sounds as though you have port 139 open. However you
need to check your exposure from the internet by going to
http://www.grc.com and take the links to Shields Up. Then take the 2 tests.
The first one will show you if 139 is open to the world. Take also the second
to see what else you have open.
If you need to close it others here hopefully will be able to tell you.
Regards,
David
