I'm not running samba. If I put the following rule before the LOG rule, will the packets be dropped and the messages stopped?

I normally go with 135:139 as they are noisy ports. On a public network I have a list of ports I drop because they are noisy
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 67:68 -j DROP -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 135:139 -j DROP -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 445 -j DROP -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 67:68 -j DROP -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 135:139 -j DROP -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 177 --dport 177 -j DROP -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 445 -j DROP -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 1024:1030 -j DROP
The 1024:1030 UDP drop the enormouse anmount of UDP pop-up spam.

Stephen, Thanks for the suggestions. I'm hoping that my router throws most of those away because so far all I've seen in messages is local traffic.
I discovered something interesting while looking at messages. I saw the following message repeated several times:
Feb 1 09:03:46 localhost kernel: FW-REJECT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:21:47:b7:86:61:08:00 SRC=0.0.0.0 DST=255.255.255.255 LEN=328 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=40094 PROTO=UDP SPT=68 DPT=67 LEN=308
I was curious what it was because of 'SRC=0.0.0.0'. It turned out to be my Wii. I discovered this based on my router which keeps track of MAC addresses and IP addresses. I had forgotten that it was on my net.
Yeah... that one can be a shocker when first looked at :). As you probably know, the reason is that a box booting up doesn't have an IP address and the old standard was to use 0.0.0.0 as the default to start up as. Some other boxes use a different from IP address, but for the most part they are 0.0.0.0
