Hello. I nned help closing port 139, in other words, my computer is wide open for an nbtstat hack. How do i disable sharing? Im running W2k pro. I believe i can do this through administrative tools/services, but i forgot how. can someone tell me how to disable sharing please??

Hello,
Follow the below steps to close port 139 (not 135):
1. Determine which of your network devices connects you to the internet. If you have DSL/Cable this is most likely an ethernet adapter. If you connect via dial-up, this is most likely a modem.
2. Click "Start", go to "Settings", then choose / go to "Network and Dial-up Connections".
3. Right click (draw context menu) on the network device which connects you to the internet. Choose "Properties".
4. Go to the tab titled "Networking".
5. Locate and Un-Check both "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks".
6. Click (press) the "OK" button.
Best regards,
Mike
