I know "What's this in my logs" is a common query, but I really am confused 
this time.
I'm getting a few of these in /var/log/messages per minute.

Jan 15 10:40:14 firewall kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth0 PROTO=6 
192.168.254
.254:80 217.149.96.2:61797 L=44 S=0x00 I=23250 F=0x0000 T=60 (#42)
Jan 15 10:40:29 firewall kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth0 PROTO=6 
192.168.254
.254:80 217.149.96.2:61795 L=44 S=0x00 I=23251 F=0x0000 T=60 (#42)

I'm confused because eth0 is my external interface.  217.149.96.2 is the 
ext IP of the firewall. 192.168.254.254 doesn't appear anywhere on the LAN.

The log analyser at http://www.echogent.com/cgi-bin/fwlog.pl tells me it's 
a return packet from a website someone on my network is trying to view, but 
given the 192.168.x.x source address I'm not sure that's correct.

One more thing that may be significant (or just simple coincidence), I had 
our ADSL service changed from NAT to no-NAT in December, and the NAT 
router's internal address was 192.168.254.254.  I changed over from 
Eigerstein to Dachstein at the same time though (effectively starting from 
scratch), so I don't think it's possible I've got some old setting in the 
firewall still hidden somewhere.

Does anyone have any ideas?

thanks

Julian
