My port 139 is wide open!
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? Brandon Taylor

My port 139 is wide open!
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.

As the link says, using PULIST will give you the processor and PID.

PULIST says that port 139 is not being used by any processes. What is my next step?
