this site (and the ensuing 3-4 pages) will show you how to "Completely close your system to all NetBIOS name and resource sharing leakage, and firmly shut the three NetBIOS "scanner bait" ports 137, 138, and 139"

or you can look at installing a personal firewall, like one of the four detailed on this page

Should TCP Port 139 be closed in Win98?
If so, please tell us how to close it.

I use Windows 95 on my old machine at home (OK so I'm a starving student). For Windows 95 and 98, all that should be necessary is to turn off file and print sharing. I think that is done in the "network" section of the Control Panel. Windows 95 and 98 don't have the same setup as NT (which instead uses "Services").
