Hi guys,

So I decided to try out this hardware firewall that is built into my Nforce3 chipset. I have ZA running anyways just to be on the safe side since I do not yet know how this thing works or how well. Initially, I have decided to leave the thing on the "high" configuration and open ports as necessary for games etc. I have not noticed anything bad so far, but my internet with firefox seems sluggish. So I decided to check out the log and here are the predominant errors:

1. Blocked port : source IP : (some IP on my network) udp port xxxxx
destination IP : 255.255.255.255 udp port 2222

There is one of these errors like onces every 30 secs or so and I have no clue what this means. Can someone please help me out here?
