Peter what Norm means is go to pc flank and do a advanced port scan you will see this link to the left on their site
just select tcp standard scan and tick this option Scan desired ports and/or the range of ports. Type in the port number and/or port range, separated by commas (example: 14, 80, 200-240). type in 139 disable your firewall it should show "CLOSED"

Active Ports program will tell you what ports are open and what application is using that port.Smartline.com has it,I think I found it at webattack though.You can close a port with this desk-top program also.Regards.JB

Nbtstat is meant "display protocl statistics and current TCP/IP connections using NetBios over TCP/IP". ie: show you the NetBios names in use.
I think what Steve meant you to type is
netstat -a
That will give you computername:port and whether its Established, Listening or a couple of other things.
I prefer netstat -an, this lists IPaddress:port.
I like FoundStone's Fport as it lists which Task/process owns the open port.

Got to watch my fat fingering, that should have been "is meant to".
Lesley, you can use whatever you like with a firewall up and running. What results you'll see may vary though.
