How to - NETBIOS services over a WAN?

hi guys,

What do I need to run / emable in order to allow NETBIOS services over a Wide Area Network WAN (leased line, ISDN, frame relay, etc) which is IP-based?

The services would be normal NETBIOS / Windows services such as WINS, windows hostnames, file and print sharing, domains logging and security, etc

Please explain in detail... Thanks!!!!

you need to open the following ports:

RPC / WINS Manager TCP 135

Browsing datagram responses of NetBIOS over TCP/IP UDP 138

Browsing requests of NetBIOS over TCP/IP and
WINS NetBios over TCP/IP name service UDP UDP 137

WINS Registration TCP 137

WINS Replication TCP 42

forgot:

NetBIOS session service at Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port 139.

hi franka,

Thank you for your information on ports required but my question was how do I make NETBIOS services work over a WAN, not what ports to allow on a firewall...

Or is NETBIOS WAN-ready? meaning once the WAN is set up, I can see remote windows networks / domains and use their NETBIOS-related services? I think not, right?

What is the steps / configuration I need to make this happen?

Please advice.

most routers do port filterin...

the browser services won't work without lots of effort, but name resolution and the rest should work fine.
