I have a Netgear RP114 router that is sort of a firewall.
I use a software firewall too.
In the log it had the following entries:

........................................................

83|Mon Mar 18 00:12:05 2002 |192.133.0.2 | FORWARD
     planetannihilation.com
Accept-Language: en-us
Accept-Encod
 84|Mon Mar 18 00:11:39 2002 |192.133.0.2 | FORWARD
     planetannihilation.com

......................................................................

83 and 84 are what I expect.
But the "Accept" lines are new to me.
Is this some kind of attack, or normal website behavior?
