Someone on the outside is probing your system, usually hackers scanning all IP addresses for a vulnerable machine.

If your router and firewall are set up ok, you can ignore it, as they probably got no reply from your system.

Configure individual hosts and routers not to respond to ICMP requests or broadcasts.

Configure routers not to forward packets directed to broadcast addresses.
