I wish that all isp's would block 135:137 though... so many hits on those ports.

Although I can sympathise, widescale "carte-blanche" blocking of ports is considered pretty heavy handed, and with good reason. People may actually have a legitmate use of those ports over the 'net (which may not even be related to SMB/CIFS at all). To my knowledge the only widescale blocking of specific ports that has ever been down was just recently when UDP/1434 was blocked on core routers for a few days to stop the SQL-Slammer worm.
