I am getting messages in my router log that there is a lot of incomming access attempts to a certain machine. The imcomming IP's are always different but they are all trying to acces a specific ip and port. The ip address are internal ip, not my router ip.
I blocked that port, 40870, to see if this stops, but not sure what actually uses that port. Was not able to find anything on this specific port.
Here is a sample:
[LAN access from remote] from 75.129.13.149:38276 to 192.168.1.8:40870, Saturday, Aug 01,2015 22:34:36
Do I need to worry about this?

Thought that skype might be the culprit. Couldnt find anything about that specific port though. I had it narrowed down to a specific pc. Th rebooted the router and it assigned a new ip to the pc. Kept getting the same message to the new ip.
What had me wondering was the incomming was from a completely different IP every time.
The log reported "LAN access" but what it doesnt say if it was succesfull or not.
Thanks
