I have shorewall reject anything going out via a port I haven't opened.
Neither source nor destination ports are in /etc/services and I haven't
seen these before.

My concern is that they come from my box (fw) and attempt to go out to
the net.  This implies that something on my box is corrupted.  Any
ideas?  At the time of this entry, my box was running Konqueror (via ssh
from the other box) and was downloading information on HP DDS tapes from
the HP website.  It also had open tabs to wikipedia and perhaps a google
search results page.

Maybe their download server runs on an alternate port?  (Though I cannot seem to telnet to this server on 8030 or 80.)
