How to disable listening on port 445 on Win XP?

Hello.
Faced such a problem. At work there are 2 computers in one network. One computer also has a VPN connection to the server. The server has a couple of shared folders to work with.
The task is as follows: I need the second computer (without VPN) to also have access to shared folders.
I used the "rinetd" program, the config sheet looks like this:
#bindaddress bindport connectaddress connectport
192.168.1.100 445 10.0.0.100 445

I just have to disable the system from listening on port 445. How to do it?
I tried to disable "NetBios over TCP / IP" in the device manager, but I generally lost the Internet.
I would like to know if there are any other ways to manually disable it? Without the use of third party software.

Everyone found a solution.
Here on this site at the very bottom. Just removed the \Device\ parameter, rebooted and it worked.
Maybe someone will need
Also found a way how not to close the port itself, but simply disable the system listening on this port, description at this link
To disable listening on TCP port 445, two methods are possible:
disable NetBT driver
add a value in the registry, to disable transport of CIFS in TCP
In both cases, a reboot of the system is necessary because port 445 is opened by
the NetBT driver at system startup.
We prefer to use the second method. With the regedit tool, the following value
can be added to the registry:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters
Value: SmbDeviceEnabled
Type: DWORD value (REG_DWORD)
Content: 0 (to disable)
After a reboot, TCP port 445 will no longer be opened by the NetBT driver.
