[SLUG] inbound connection attempt gets past hw firewall

My home linux box is hooked up to a Linksys BEFSR41 which is behind a
Linksys RT31P2. I noticed that Firestarter detected and blocked an inbound
connection attempt on port 40379. It appears as though this attempt got
past the hardware firewall on the RT31P2. I have a few ports being
forwarded on the hw firewall but 40379 is not one of them. Am I missing
something?
