XP's Firewall

[thingy]

I recently enabled my XP Firewall and at the same time I set the 'dropped packets' log going - here are a few lines from the log - I've never used a Firewall before - can someone interpret this for me please :

#Verson: 1.0
#Software: Microsoft Internet Connection Firewall
#Time Format: Local
#Fields: date time action protocol src-ip dst-ip src-port dst-port size tcpflags tcpsyn tcpack tcpwin icmptype icmpcode info

No.




Really, a drop packet is the amount of data failed to recieve or deliver and it happens all the time. Nothing to worry about.
