Re: Windows File Sharing: Facing The Mystery

said by Daniel See Profile:

Due to the consolidation of many of the NetBIOS functions into a single port (445), this port is critical to many Windows 2000/XP operations. It's imperative that access to this port is limited to trusted hosts and/or networks
Indeed, using NetBEUI instead of NetBIOS/TcpIP has allowed me to stop all ports from listening except 445; that is still showing as stealthed behind my router/ZAP combination. But would like some further tips on "limiting [access to 445] to trusted hosts and/or networks." Just to make sure.

Great explanation, and, though not addressing it in much detail, another good argument for NetBEUI.
