Thread-topic: [FW-1] How to stop FW machine to send nbname from itself?

Hello Jignesh,

I have been trying to block nbname, nbdatagram, and nbsession packets at our FW-1. In our case however, when I block port 139 we lose connectivity to the web server. Anyone else have this problem.

Thanks,

Don Scott

Hello:

We have installed FW-1 v.4.1/SP5 on Windows 2000 SP2 at our client location. We have AnyàAnyàNBTàDrop rule base to drop nbname, nbtdatagram packets and FW is doing so. But FW logs shows that FW machine itself is sending nbname packets to internet side. How can I stop this? Is there any performance issue?

Thanks,

Jignesh
