port 139 scans?

Port 139's the netbios port.

Is the source address in NTL's 80.0.0.0/13 allocation? They're
using those IPs for their broadband always on cable modem customers.

So it's either some idiot script kiddies running port scanners themselves
or unfirewalled fools who've had their Windows boxes hacked.
