*edit* Should read: Broadcasts from the Subnet 192.168.1.0/24 are all sent to the 192.168.1.255 address.<br />
<br />
For an external device trying to access that port it could be any of someone Port Scanning or perhaps a Virus (on the remote computer).

In my opinion no one will need to get to Port 137 Externally, equally Port 137 will not need to go outside of your network. So it should be closed. on the Firewall.

Firewall Attack Help !!

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
