I get something similar to this in logged daily but do not understand 
it's significance.

Obviously iptables is responding to these but what is it doing with 
them?  I don't see a threat there.

 --------------------- iptables firewall Begin ------------------------ 

 Logged 13 packets on interface eth0
   From 192.168.1.22 - 2 packets to igmp(0) 		# Two dhcp computers on my LAN 
   From 192.168.1.24 - 4 packets to igmp(0) 
   From 216.126.204.45 - 7 packets to tcp(59993) 	# The ISP's server for mail/browsing
 
 ---------------------- iptables firewall End ------------------------- 

Any explanation appreciated.
