My Draytek 2800 router blocked the following yesterday.

Can anyone suggest what caused this? I assume it is some form of attempt
to compromise my machine. I don't use P2P or Yahoo messenger. ANy
suggestions as to the appropriate course of action would be welcome. TIA

If you use an ISP with dynamic IP allocation it can happen once the previous
user has had certain programs running. Once you have been allocated their
old IP address the other systems don't seem to know you are a different
user. So they still try to resume or connect again if that particulr IP
number is stored on another computer as one holding certain programs or
pictures. It will eventually give up.
At least the router works.
If you have a static IP then someone has put your IP number in to attempt a
direct connection.
Get a decent firewall installed.
