| Wow - basic networking 101 
Ports 137, 138 & 139 are NETBIOS
Name Service - Datagram Service and Session Service respectively.
Why do you get requests? Because 1 or more machines on your network are using the NETBEUI protocol. Commonly found installed as default in 9X machines. | |

I am sure it was in jest, but sometimes, that's hard to discern in an online forum format  | |

| Yeah, and a lot of people lurking haven't gotten their Net+ cert yet; so "basic networking" may mean it's something you ought to know, but me, with my A+ and nothing else yet, there's no particular reason I ought to know that. | |
|
| the original poster has MCSE as their certification, they SHOULD know the answer to their own question. | |
