firewall log messages

[Robert Kerr <kerrr@et.byu.edu>]

I'm using a cable modem, and have it firewalled at my box.  Every now and
then I get the following messages on the current console

Packet log: input REJECT eth0 PROTO=17 65.6.x.x:513
65.255.255.255:513
L=160 S=0x00 I=20143 F=0x0000 T=64 (#5)
24.7.73.5 sent an invalid ICMP error to a broadcast.
24.7.73.5 sent an invalid ICMP error to a broadcast.

where the 65.6.x.x is my address.

Why are these coming?   Are they warning me of something important? and
if not, can I send them to a log instead of my console?

thanks
