What OS are you running? If it is W2K check to see what services are running, there are probably some that you do not need and can disable.

Also do you have NetBios enabled. Seeing port 139 might point to this.

I found the following a very informative link about protocols and how your system should be set up.

Hey trouser, Lets start with a little port education: http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/port-numbers http://advice.networkice.com/advice/Exploits/Ports/default.htm http://www.stengel.net/tcpports.htm http://real.cotse.com/cgi-bin/port.cgi
Port 139 is NetBIOS, go here & learn about it and how to close it: http://grc.com/su-explain.htm http://grc.com/su-bondage.htm http://www.labmed.umn.edu/~john/netbios.html http://www.symantec.com/SecurityCheck/netbios.html
This should give you a basic understanding and get you started. Afterwards retest and let us know if problems still remain.
You can close some of the ports with Zone Alarm.
