new to firewalls

I just installed comodo pro firewall. I have never really used a firewall before and I have a question. I keep getting inbound policy violation entries in the log every few minutes all from the same ip address. Can someone explain this?

Date/Time :2007-10-16 20:47:23Severity :MediumReporter :Network MonitorDescription: Inbound Policy Violation (Access Denied, IP =

192.168.1.65, Port = nbname(137))Protocol: UDP IncomingSource: 192.168.1.65:nbname(137) Destination: 192.168.1.255:nbname(137) Reason: Network Control Rule ID = 5
