There are no real differences between port 139 and 445 behavior with
regard to SMB transport. Naked transport still uses the same four-byte
header introduced with NBT transport (back in RFC1001/1002).
The semantic differences have to do with:
- The NBT naming system (UDP port 137) which, of course, disappears when
using port 445.
- NetBIOS-based services such as the Browse Service also disappear over
port 445. Eg., you can't count on RAP calls working if NBT isn't
running.
