That's what I was going to say as well-- use local fw to block outbound
NetBIOS/CIFS to everything except a particular scope... That and only use
NTLMv2 (and Kerberos).

I would recommend blocking those ports (135, 137, 139 and 445) at the
edge router so that at least they aren't sent over the internet.  For
some machines, perhaps you want a host firewall to block them from
leaving the box at all.

Subject: Avoid sending current credentials automatically over the
network

Hi all


When mapping a network share without any credentials parameter or when
clicking in a link for a internal app Windows and IE automatically send
the 
current users credentials automatically. Aparently for IE you can
configure 
to send anonymous creds (guest account) and then ask for creds.
However over the network there is no option to avoid sending current
users 
creds automatically. I tried smb signing but it didn't work.
Does anyone know a solution for it?
Thanks
Uno
