this is a common entry in my firewall log:
Jun 5 20:53:59 Macintosh Firewall[101]: Stealth Mode connection attempt to TCP 192.168.0.10:49157 from 17.149.36.110:5223
TCP 192... belongs to my computer; I understand the 17...IP address is from an apple product...my question is, is this an apple device attempting to intrude into my system and is being rejected by my firewall? I have about 5 persistent IP addresses that do this. There is someone who has invaded my computer in the past, who has an iPhone with a very similiar address. Is there cause for concern? Or is the apple address simply my own somehow? I have a macbook pro, late 2011, version 10.7.4; software updates, mackeeper and macscan, firewall always up to date. I have a home wireless network with WEP protection, I do not use any proxies. I very much appreciate help with this question.
