Hi, I Know Not !

I definitely did try to research the answer before posting. I first went to Microsoft TechNet, then I went to Webopedia, then to HowstuffWorks, then I went to Google and seached both "NetBIOS Sessions" and " DNS ", and I posted on two other forums and read maybe twenty articles before posting here.
None of which explained "incoming" attacks or possible security violations.

I also checked my IP which is dynamic, and tried to trace the alerts through the DNS station.

I have standard dial-up.

And the most popular port of call for these intrusions seems to be port 139...which I also checked on Microsoft TechNet.

Altogether I spent...and this is not an exaggeration...about five hours trying to solve the problem myself which is why I ended up here. I was not looking for another forum to join...I came by you guys by accident while trying to solve this problem...then I spent another two hours trying to post here after I had registered until I realized that I had to go back and allow cookies which I had done but I must have done it wrong the first time.

I agree that a person should assist in finding the answer and not just plop down a post and let everyone else do all the work...in fact I have solved many problems myself...but at the same time if there was a problem with my car or my leg I would not try to fix it myself, there are some things better left to the experts who can solve the problem without creating new ones.

After wasting seven hours on this...seven hours I don't have to waste...I think I did my part or my obligation to try and figure it out for myself.


You can assume from this point that if I make a post here I have devoted some time to trying to resolve it myself...it may be 30 min or seven hours...but I've made an effort as my time and circumstances allow.


Right now I am very tired...I wish you a very Happy New Year!!!...I think it's time for me to get a couple hours sleep before the kids get up for breakfast.

I'm up now and the kids aren't out of bed yet and I'm feeling a little better...I appreciate your help I Know Not especially with you being drunk and me being over-tired...but most of what you said I did find out in my own research...although very informative basic definitions of things did not answer my questions...but I do appreciate the response.
