Re: Re: How to get rid of this firewall error. [Solved]

Thanks for every ones help. I resolved all issues with errors from my 
firewall. Here is a summary

1) My DSL modem/router periodically pings my machine. If I accept then 
it queries more about www server, samba server etc. I do not like these 
requests as I do not know what the modem does with that info. The 
modem/router is given to me by verizon DSL service. So, I shut off any 
incoming packet from that interface that is not already established by 
an in-to-out connection. I was doing this before too, but I was loggin 
in such message. Now I dropped loging it, if it is from my dsl router.

2) I have virtual machines connected with br0 to internal net, and I did 
not do the iptables from br0 to internal net properly and that caused 
nmbd queries from br0 (ie from vms) to rest of the internal net to be 
dropped and loggged. I updated a few rules and the log messages  went away.

3) No my syslog onlyc contains useful messages.
