There are many, many possibilities. You'll want to block ports 137, 138 and 139 (and probably others as well...but this is for Netbios). Take a look here for some assistance:

it depends. Do you want to block ports on a workstation or a NT server?
Is that system sharing files?
if the unswer is not. Just a stand alone worksation to surf the web disable de server service and computer browser service. A more sofisticated way is to use IPsec to block the netbios ports. Refer to the step-by-step doc at microsoft web to do that.
