File and printer sharing are enabled.

I think opening ports 137 thru 139 may have something to do with the
NetBIOS settings or TCP/IP Filtering. Currently NetBIOS is enabled. 

MSoft appears to be advocating "Direct Hosted NetBIOS-less SMB traffic".
This uses ports 445. MS knowledge base article 315267.
