Most TCP and UDP port numbers aren't strictly assigned to particular 
protocols - just because traffic happens to use a port number assigned 
to a protocol, that doesn't necessarily mean the traffic is traffic for 
that protocol.

If there's TCP traffic between ports 1061 and 445, and it's traffic 
between an SMB client (such as your PC might be) and an SMB server (such 
as the W2K3 machine might be), it might be SMB traffic that happens to 
come from port 1061 rather than port 1063 or 1060 or 666 or 17432 or - 
it doesn't necessarily mean that it's "kiosk protocol" traffic, it could 
be SMB-over-TCP traffic, the port number for which is 445 (rather than 
SMB-over-"NetBIOS-over-TCP", where the traffic is mainly on port 139, 
except for some NetBIOS-over-UDP traffic on ports 137 and 138.
