139 is the file sharing. 137 lets you brows the network. I don't use MCC
to set up the firewall, so I am not sure what the checkbox does.

Mikkel,

Thanks for that. May I ask what you would suggest as a way to setup a firewall?

That I can not help you with, as the way I do it is not something most new users would be comfortable with. I tend to edit the files in /etc/shorewall directly. For me, it is a simple matter to add a couple of rules to /etc/shorewall/rules. I also like Bastille, but I have not tried it on Mandriva. http://www.bastille-linux.org/
