I issued this command:
netstat -an | find /i "139"
and it returned the following line:
TCP 192.168.0.2:139 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
Turns out that 192.168.0.2 is my own IP address, and it is listening through Port 139! From what I can gather, the only way to protect my computer from any menace trying to attack it through Port 139 is to shut down the Internet connection. Am I correct... or is there another way?

I just ran the Shields UP! test (at
www.grc.com) and it told me that my port
139 was wide open. How in Windows Vista do I close that port?
