/var/ gets full of messages


Hello, I'd like to ask you about a problem I have. Suddenly, every now and then (it happend to me three times), my /var/ gets full of messages like this:


Shorewall:net2allROP:IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:19:d1:37:c3:57:00:12:3f:75:60:6f:08:
00 SRC=158.110.32.89 DST=158.110.32.91 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=57786 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=34936 DPT=111 W
INDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0

The 158.110.32.89 Ip adress is the adress of the computer where my home is, and the 158.110.32.91 is the ip adress of the computer I am working on.
Has anybody idea of what I could do to avoid this problem?

Thank you very much!
