    Hi,
     The router with firewall can understand the interfaces IPs and will
    look into routing table before routing the packet and checks spoofed
    packets.

    Just try out this;
    ping -a 192.168.1.5
    to know the host name. If its a windows machine it will give you the
    hostname.

    Another possibility could be spoofing of packets. If your firewall is
    weak to detect spoofed packets then you better change Firewall :)

    You can run tcpdump or ethereal to see the hardware address of the
    192.168.1.5 machine.

    What is the firewall box IP???

    Hope this helps,
    Best Regards,
    Ravi Kumar CH.
