Why does the nGenius server try to access the Internet over ports 137 and 139?
A. On Windows NT and Windows 2000 systems: When it responds to requests for name resolution by nGenius, the Windows system itself attempts to contact a DNS server for resolution. The UDP 137 traffic results when Windows receives a Host Name Resolution request. Windows NT and 2000 use Domain Name System (DNS) and NetBIOS Name Service for host name resolution. Microsoft recommends that you filter the traffic. In RTM, the function of Name Resolution can be disabled in the RTMROOT/rtm/bin/serverprivate.properties file with this line: dns.
