File and Printer Sharing still turned on after unchecked...confused :\

["nokio x0" <xj3wlzx () hotmail com>]

Hi all,

My windows 98 machine still has ports 137, 138, 139 open even after i turned 
"File and Printer Sharing" options off. I succesfully used this to get into 
my system, so as you can imagine it's a big security risk. How do you shut 
these ports down? I have read many FAQs and papers concerning this but 
they've all said to just uncheck the two options in the "File and Printer 
Sharing" window under Control Panel > Networking. I have asked around on IRC 
and the most advice I got was to block the ports with my 
router/firewall(smoothwall)...But how come I can't just turn them off 
myself?
