After loading the 1.42.3 firmware on my linksys I see this i
02/17/2002 04:28:37 Allowed UDP Incoming 239. 255. 255. 250 1900 192. 168. 1. 1 1901 10 02/17/2002 04:28:23 02/17/2002 04:28:23 Now I have thousands of these in my logs. . . So I did a little research.

Now my question is what do I do about it... I have the firewall blocking it but the router seems to be forwarding the data... I do not want to disable the UPnP on the router as some of my online software finally works without having to setup forwarding.
Anyway does this seem like a security flaw to anyone else?
