Using Netbios without opening ports?

[daYz]

Is it possible to access files on a Windows pc from Linux using Netbios without opening ports on the Linux pc? I don't need to be able to access files on the Linux pc from the Windows pc.
I want to run Linux with a direct internet connection so I don't want to open ports if it's not nessesarry.

yes...sambasambasamba

you can mount windows shares on linux:

smbmount //server/share /mnt/location -U usernameonwindowsbox

this should prompt for a password of the useraccount.

then "browse" to the /mnt/location on the linux box a poof! there is the share.

no netbios needed.
