Re: Closing NetBios Port

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Have you read the previous messages? This one is now in your lap. You need
to find where 'netbios' is being added to CE_MODULES. As indicated, I don't
see another source of it besides what I had already listed, but obviously
someone is pulling it in.

Sorry for the two previous empty posts I had a problem with my browser (
you
can delete them).
About the problem of the NetBIOS port, I've checked the ceconfig.h file
and
the NETBIOS appears as installed (1). Any suggestion about what can I do
to
remove it?
Thansk in advance
Jordi

Hi Paul,
I've tried to do what you explained, and the netBios UDP port 137
continues open. In fact, I had already removed the File Server, Print
Server,
and the Windows Networking Api/Redirector before you told me about doing
it.
The only element I had not removed is the Core Server Support, but I
removed
it after I read your post, then I "sysgened" and built the project, and
the
port remains open. So my problem persists
Perhaps I haven't uninstalled those elements properly, or there is
something else I should do...
Thanks anyway
Jordi

It looks to me like you want to remove the netbios component from your
OS
build. Note that SMB will add it automatically (File Server, Print
Server).
It also appears to me that Core Server Support will also add it. So
will
the redirector, Windows Networking API/Redirector.

Hi,

I'm working in the development of a Windows CE 5.0 based device
wich
works connected to a Ethernet Network. I've been able to close all
the
network ports uninstalling all undesired services like http, ftp,
telnet
and
debug apps (CMAccept ...), but I'can not disable the Netbios UDP /
Port
137 (
I've checked it with three network scanners and all of them found
this
port
open). What can I do to close this port? Is there any option in
Platfform
builder that I should modify? Is there any good paper or webpage wich
explains how to enhance network security in a Windows CE 5.0 based
device?

Thanks in advance!!

Jordi
