Anyway thanks for the recommendation.

If you don't have a hardware firewall, just download a personal firewall. If you're talking about incoming traffic on the NetBIOS TCP ports, be aware that it's probably NOT a hacker. There are literally thousands of worms that are trying to get to those ports. And alot of those exploits have already been patched by Microsoft, rendering them harmless.
You'll have to look elsewhere for personal firewall recommendations as I don't use one. ZoneAlarm was always good back in the day, but I haven't used it for years.
