As are we all.

Can you send the filter?  I assume you're blocking 137-139 for the 
206.76.16.67/28 subnet only, yes?

I guess I'd like to know more about your filters, and the IP address of
"another_host".  smbclient will open a high-numbered port to query the
remote server, and replies will return from port 139 on that server to the
high-numbered port.

...I'm probably just missing something.
