| Port 135 is not netbios. The article is wrong, port 135 is not NetBIOS, those are reserved for 137-139.
Port 135: Microsoft's DCOM (Distributed, i.e. networked, COM) Service Control Manager (also known as the RPC Endpoint Mapper) uses this port in a manner similar to SUN's UNIX use of port 111. The SCM server running on the user's computer opens port 135 and listens for incoming requests from clients wishing to locate the ports where DCOM services can be found on that machine. |

| The article isn't wrong.. it's just not as detailed as your post.. most security people lump 135/tcp in with NETBIOS even though it's not strictly the same thing.

It's "close enough" - though it's not strictly part of NETBIOS in the sense of file mapping and the like, it's so intricately related to "windows networking" that most of us have long considered RPC portmapper to be part of NETBIOS. Perhaps this is sloppy, but not much.
