open ports on Airport Extreme

A Port scan of my Airport Extreme's (running airport 3.1.1) external IP address revealed the following open ports:
Open Port: 139
Open Port: 1025
Open Port: 1034

Any idea why these would be open?

139 - netbios ! Running a windows pc or Virtual PC windows ? Dangerous !
1025 - NFS or IIS
1034 - no idea there...

Is your firewall activated on your mac ? Do you have a windows server with IIS behind your airport ?

As for these two, I did some scouring and came up with:

What the hell is network blackjack?

Yes, I have my firewall turned on and i have only a few ports opened (22 for remote SSH, 177, 6000, 7100 for X11, 3689 for iTunes sharing). I'm not sure what IIS is.

it has to do with X11 and Xwindow forwarding. Do you have X11 (or some other Xfree86-like program) installed?
