    NetBIOS over TCP traditionally uses the following ports:
    
    nbname 137/UDP
    nbname 137/TCP
    nbdatagram 138/UDP
    nbsession 139/TCP
    
    Direct hosted "NetBIOS-less" SMB traffic uses the following port:
    
    MICROSOFT-DS 445/TCP
    MICROSOFT-DS 445/UDP
    
    Looks like you're being scanned for open shares (the usual), but the scanner/worm/potential intruder now knows about "NeBIOS-less" SMB traffic port too.
    
    This could be a DoS Attack on port 445 too, see http://www.vnunet.com/News/1131065
    but i doubt that since you said It was followed by nbname lookup, so It's probably looking for openshares.
