Your misreading:
Quote:
Following last month's decision to block 'port 135', ntl:home is blocking more Internet ports to reduce the threat of the new virulent worms that may use these ports to spread across the Internet.
This "port-blocking" should have little or no effect on your use of the Internet but it will significantly reduce the vulnerability to infection from variants of the Welchia and MSBlast worms.
The ports being blocked (inbound only, to stop infections) are: 137 (UDP), 138 (UDP), 139 (TCP), 445 (UDP & TCP), 593 (TCP), 1433 (TCP), 1434 (UDP), 27374 (TCP)
