[freenet-support] SYNs and SMURFs

[freenetproject]

For a long time I've received what looks like SYN floods and SMURF 
attacks to my port associated with Freenet.  I've assumed that it's a 
fault of my firewall or PC, but what's weird is that the port of the 
"offending" IP increments.  I thought that the port that Freenet uses 
was static being that it was defined in the .conf file.

Excuse my display of ignorance, but could someone please explain why the 
far end port would need to change?
