localhost connection

Hi,

I have an mn500 w/ a laptop, replaytv and a Rio Karma
connecting. I see a couple dozen of these connection
attempts (below)a day, even when the laptop is off. The
desination is random ports on my public IP.

Is this normal behavior? Something I should be concerned
about?

2004/02/01 16:02:49 Connection attempt to base station
from WAN blocked -- src:<127.0.0.1:80>
dst:<xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1523>

Thanks.

Normal. I have the same. These are ports scans trying to
identify weaknesses on your network. The router discards
the attacks and creates the logs so you know what
happened.

Many of the scans come actually from zombie machines that
were infected by virus. The 127.0.0.1 source IP is
probably faked out by the attacker so you cannot know
were s/he is.
