These kind of messages simply tell you who tried to connect to your box. I get approx. 1-5 of these kind of messages per day. So this is nothing to worry about. You should start worrying if you find entries of this kind repeated for many times with the same IP.
I have two questions: 1. what would you do if you find one address scanning all your ports, block it in your firewall?? 2. how do I know that there is not one attacker behind the slur of IPs that probe me? Even more so for IPs like: nslookup 202.101.165.9 *** .. can't find 209.15.60.12.8: Non-existent host/domain I get attempts from similar `non-existent' IPs all the time (2-6 a day). Dirk
