Correct.

Well, initially we disabled broadcast capability between customers which 
meant they couldn't see each other in "my network neighbourhood" (direct 
access still worked, but people generally didn't do that), and then 
we blocked "windows ports" later. A lot of deployments I know of still 
today block whatever ports windows uses in 135-139 and 445 for this 
reason.
