Congratulations, you use the SuSEpersonal-firewall, and you have set REJECT_ALL_INCOMING_CONNECTIONS to "eth0". What you see is a box connecting to your interface eth0, IP xx.x.x.xx, port 80. So this looks like a http request. The port where the connection is coming from is arbitrary - You are seeing two packet logs, both initiated from the same socket (it is the same port).
Are you sure that eth0 is the interface you want to protect your machine from?
Well, uhm... I got some problems while working at the office, I can't make an X connection... But that's another problem. And, yes, I'm quite sure this is the device to protect, since this is the interface to the ISP. And I only have this one device ;-) If you have any suggestions, then spit them out. I would especially be grateful for a hint on how to allow boxes from xxx.xx.xx to connect to my X-server. I tried a lot, but nothing worked (except turning the firewall off...) Thanks!
