Weird attack alerts

Hi,

occasionally the logs of my WGR614v8 (stock firmware) show DOS attacks:

Smurf from the external IP of the router

STORM from the internal IP of my Mac

What are the conditions for those alerts to occur? Because I seriously doubt either is a real attack.

STORM is most likely

STORM is most likely Microsoft Office broadcasting my serial number. It does that non-stop, but I assume the router only registers an attack when the timing is in phase ;)
