The Firestarter Events Screen
Also in the above example it appears that two serious events have been detected by the firewall. To learn more about these events select the ''Events'' tab to show the list of events:

In the above example we see some attempts by the systems at IP addresses 192.168.2.13 and 192.168.2.13 to connect to our system. Because these are Samba messages we can assume that they are safe. Samba is a system which allows Windows systems to access Linux filesystems and other resources over a network connection. Upon investigation it turns out that both of these IP addresses are assigned to Windows XP systems on the local network. Clearly these systems send out a message every now and then to see if there are any new network resources to add to their lists.
