I have a linux sever and few win clients all running winXP, so I don't need netbios. I set "disable netbios=yes" in my smb.conf file but running "netstat -tl" I see that samba still listens on port 139. I believed that port 139 was only for netbios. Is it actually used for something when netbios is disabled? With netbios disabled, shouldn't port 445 be the only one used? (indeed samba seems to work perfectly fine if I add "smb ports = 445" too)

Cheers
