Windows likes to send Netbios name query packets to a host on port 137
with certain normal use operations, including dns lookups.  Consider it
normal activity if you have windows clients using resources on your
computer, but abnormal if you see hits to port 137 to all of your ip's
within a short timerange.  Also, if you are not running samba, you have no
reason to worry about incoming netbios packets.
