    The netbios Name query/response packets are in the same format as DNS query/response packets, just on port 137 instead of 53 so you could use DNS tools connected to port 137 instead of SAMBA. This doesn't help with port 139 traffic although Ethereal has a good netbios dissector.

    as a last note i am also getting many probes on port 137 and 139, but
    they seem unrelated, i might try answering to netbios-ns lookups and see
    what happens, if i find a smaller beast than samba to use, that is.
