either someone has scanned your system, or has attempted to connect and enter
your system unauthorized. At any rate your firewall denied the packet entry
and didn't send anything back. Looks like your firewall is working well,
however if you don't already have it turned on and running I would strongly
suggest you also add another layer to your system security and run PortSentry
in addition to you firewall. single layer system security is just an
invitation for crackers to try and break thru. Redundency is the key to a
secure system.
