Resolution
Windows XP uses port 139 by default, but it can be made to use port 445.
Force communications over port 445, instead of the standard port of 139 on Windows XP on the Network Connection.
From the Windows XP box on the client side of SSLVPN, do the following...
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Network and Dial-up Connection.
Right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.
Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
Click Advanced.
Click the WINS tab, and then click Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
