Can anyone tell me what these are? I'm suddenly (last few days) getting an awful lot of these firewall messages.
looks like UDP packets (protocol 17) are being blocked on your ppp0 device... you could turn off logging if the mesages are anoying/filling up disk space... the packets could be produced by any number of applications that use UDP (real player, quake etc...), they could also be produced from somebody on the internet sending udp packets to your machine.. can't really tell from that snip whether 213.122.164.171 is your machine or some other machine on btinternet...

They are emanating from my ISP (BtInternet).
