How to disabe "File and Printer Sharing"?
Dears~
I have unchecked a service for stop sharing but keep access to another computer's file, Th service is named "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Network". But, I see UDP 137, 138 and TCP 139, 445 are still listening when I use "netstat -na" to show network status. Why? Should I disable another function? |

How to disabe "File and Printer Sharing"?
Hi
Stopping a service is Not necessarily the right idea since some services has multiple functions and dependents. On each version of Windows there are ways to Uncheck the Sharing. In any case, ports are blocked, or unblocked by the Firewall (Not the sharing setting per-se). So depending on which Firewall you are using you have to block the ports that you are sure you would Not need any more (be careful, some of these ports are used for Internet connections too).
