Port 135/139/445

Aug 27 05 9:37 am

Hello,

I always have log in firewall tab about Access denied on Port 135, 139 & 445.
Shall I open these ports or not ?
They are use by netbios?
Is it dangerous to open them ?
Thanks!

Does your firewall say it is from local addresses or external addresses?

Please check that your adapters were detected correctly by WinGate:
The network card pointing towards the LAN should be marked as "Internal" and the network card / modem pointing towards the internet should be marked as "External"; as shown in the image below. GateKeeper --> View menu --> Network

Is 81.56.203.244 your ADSL connection?

Yes.
Thats my internet connection.

Alright, then all you're seeing is your firewall protecting you against traffic trying to reach your LAN computers. That is pretty normal - and I'd advise against opening those ports as they are netbios related and you don't really want people from outside being able to discover/browse your network.
