Any networking gurus out there?

In Snow Leopard, I'm noticing that I get a lot of these messages in Console now:

Aug 29 09:49:07 MacPro Firewall[77]: Stealth Mode connection attempt to UDP 192.168.2.6:57065 from 68.87.73.242:53

That 68.87.73.242 address is my Comcast DNS server.

They show up as a Info type message in Console. No real problem, just curious if anyone else is seeing that.

yep, I gotten that in leopard too. I pretty sure its because you have the stealth ports setting enabled in the firewall options
 
I think now in Snow Leopard, they are showing these messages in the standard All Messages Database search, must not have been in Leopard....only in the firewall.log
