	All PCs try to talk to everything on ports 137-139.  However, if 
the machine at the other end isn't speaking NetBIOS or NetBEUI, then 
they most likely won't be able to respond in a manner that PCs will 
understand.

	Simply firewall off all access to ports 137-139 on the Linux 
server and toss all the crap packets coming from the PC to these 
ports.


	With regards to things like this in the future, you really should 
ask a Linux-specific mailing list or newsgroup -- your question has 
absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the DNS in general, or BIND 
in particular.
