Running Win98se. Can I close port 139, and if so, how?
"Running Win98se. Can I close port 139, and if so, how?"
I really have no idea about that. I am running XP and there are no services attached to 139 on my machine (I checked this by having my program try to open a server socket on it - which it was able to do) Is there a program on your machine that is using 139? What? Anyways, you should go to ShieldsUp (https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2) and have it scan the ports on your machine. Click on "proceed" and then click on "all service ports." What is the result?
