Port 139 is one of the NetBIOS ports. Disable NetBIOS services on the
Internet interface, unless you need to share with others on the subnet
or Internet. For that, you need a firewall that sports a local or
trusted zone where you can enable NetBIOS and an untrusted zone where
the firewall can block it.
I would also recommend blocking ports 135 and 445 on the Internet
interface. These aren't technically part of NetBIOS, but are open and
vulnerable.
