As far as I understand your logged message, the firewall dropped evil Rick with the IP 192.168.248.213 (RFC1918!) to open a communication to server 216.87.188.9 on port 21 (ftp auth). The crappy sonicwall thinks this might be a bounce attack, so go to evil Rick this is the guy you need to hunt. cheers

(Not In Service) Heck, maybe it is a honey pot that just goes out looking for possible zombies on other systems. Ah, in '07 Affinity was taken over by Hostway of Chicago - the plot thickens.

No it's the illuminati, first they attack your sonicwall since they know that you are able to following their tracks, as long as you try to understand what sonicwall says in it's stupid email message they overtake the world, tonight! I guess you just try to troll or maybe you have the wrong job. cheers
