disclaimer:: I'm working under the assumption that you have only a single computer or a small home network.
If you don't use a VPN, and I doubt you do, close 1723. It has nothing to do with your internet access.
137-139 aren't necessary to be open to the world (in fact, they should NOT be open to the world). You should be able to block outside access to those ports and still be able to function just fine. If you have a home network that uses filesharing, then only allow internal access to those ports. Configure your firewall to block all external access to those ports.
Port 161 is for SNMP, a network management protocol for complex networks. I highly doubt you actually use this on a home network, and in any rate, outside access to it should be blocked at your firewall.
Blocking all these ports from external access will not affect your ability to use the internet. They all have to do with internal network management and should be blocked at your firewall anyway.
