True, but the ones it will have open (depending on the firewall settings,
if used) will be 139, possibly dhcp etc which can be easily shown to be
vulnerable -  ie.e, adverstised windows shares.

Also, dns probes on my dialup seem to be hitting new highs, as well as ftp
ones at the moment.  A lot of the ftp ones are one or two isolated packets
which would go unnoticed by most monitoring programs.  With wingate, was
never aware that this was even going on until I switched to linux.  Is
better to be aware that you are being (even if unsuccessfully) probed than
be blissfully unaware and eventually getting caught out!
