Had quick look at the ports, it is defined for NETBIOS. so I suspect it will be used by Samba. Do you have Samba installed and running?

To have a service "listen" on a port it needs to be defined somewhere, either as a standalone service started from the runlevels (start/stop script lives in /etc/rc.d/init.d) or from the inetd service. (services are defined/configured in /etc/xinetd.d/ directory)

use the iptables command as root. do this..

#iptables -I INPUT 1 -s 192.168.1.100 -m multiport -p udp --dports 137,138,139 -j ACCEPT

Try adding '-u' to netstat to have it list udp listeners.

I guess you will receive a lot of worm-requests, when opening these ports beyound the lan.
