ICQ and port 139

["Andreas Engel" <Andreas . Engel @ cylink . net>]

hello world,

i found out that this program ICQ from MIRABILIS send some strange querys
out.
it's a request from port 40 to port 139. port 139 is, so far i know, used
for netbios
over tcp ... what the hell they are looking for on this port.is this
something against the
security?-) or do they have another reason to do this so ?-)..i can not
exlain this to me
and i would be happy if somebody could help me in understanding this. i
hope you
could read my english. ;-)

thanx Andreas Engel :)
