199.166.24.1 is telling 66.56.165.39 that it received a udp packet from
66.56.165.39 destined for a port (code 3) on 199.166.24.1 that was not
reachable (type 3) (no service listening).

Could be.  But you haven't said anything about what protocols you have
going outbound that might be prompting this either. 66.227.182.56 seems to
be a firewalled linux box somewhare in Charter Communications of
Michigan's network, but there are many possible legitimate explanations in
addition to the obvious unfriendly possibilities.

If you can determine (by examining your network traffic ... don't jump to
conclusions without data) that nothing your systems are doing is prompting
this, then you can a) send a request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (tech contact
for the network manager for 66.227.182.56 obtained from
http://samspade.org) providing a summary of what you have seen and asking
for an explanation and/or correction, or b) add a drop rule to Shorewall
to keep your logfiles from filling up.  (a) will probably have no
discernable effect, so if you don't have any dirty datastreams going out
then you will probably end up with (b).
