Well according to the first answer in your very hand link

"UDP ports 137, 138 & TCP ports 137, 139"

Is it any wonder some people trust another persons view rather than Wikipedia

You missed the bit where it said:

directly over TCP, port 445;

I just like using lmgtfy

To be fair, if you're trying to open the right ports in a firewall, getting all the MS stuff right is a nightmare.

In these situations the file /etc/services found on any Linux box can help:

netbios-ns 137/tcp # NETBIOS Name Service
netbios-ns 137/udp
netbios-dgm 138/tcp # NETBIOS Datagram Service
netbios-dgm 138/udp
netbios-ssn 139/tcp # NETBIOS session service
netbios-ssn 139/udp
microsoft-ds 445/tcp # Microsoft Naked CIFS
microsoft-ds 445/udp
