Default 1000's of 6346 hits from one IP-help!

For a few days last week I was on the Gnutella network for the first time with Limewire 1.6d. Though it's been several days since I disconnected, my firewall logs show tens of thousands of port 6346 hits from a single IP: 131.116.76.178. And there does not seem to be any end in sight. Having used the Gnutella network for well over a year with various servents, I am quite familiar with the lingering effects of 6346 port activity after terminating the use of a servent. I never considered it to be much of a problem. However, this current situation is beyond tolerance and is affecting my ability to monitor my firewall logs for real threats. Can you offer any help? Thank you.

ps I've already disconnected the computer from the network for 24 hrs

pps I've already sent email to abuse@, registry@ and dns@telia.net

ppps I'm posting here as I would think there is a more powerful user base on this thread than others and perhaps the next Limewire (or next generation of servents in general) can disconnect from the Gnutella network without the lingering 6346 port activity

Thanks again.
