Help with understanding log entry

Hello Group, I have a Linksys router and a Windows XP SP3 computer. My software firewall is Deerfield Visnetic. Lately I notice log entries when I boot up (and continuing) which seem to suggest that the router is trying to send the computer a UDP packet.

Log: Blocked incoming UDP packet from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.xxx source port varies anywhere from 9555 to 9599 destination port is 162

What does this mean? Should I write a rule to permit it?

Many thanks for any clarification.

Jack
