Can some kind soul lead me out of this mess? Thanks and much appreciate
any help offered...

Stop smb and nmb and run

netstat -pl to see what ports are open (should tell if those ports are
being used by something)
Thanks Michael for your reply. I tried netstat -pl and as far as I can tell, I don't see anything that refers to either ports 139 or 445. Hard for me to be certain though, as what is printed out is difficult for me to comprehend...
Do you by chance have vmware installed?
I dunno what vmware is, so probably not... unless it is something that was installed by default?
