Basically because the firewall doesn't have a clue what is going on, and it misinterprets all the legitimate traffic from the cable head-end as being some sort of Denial of Service. Just ignore these log entries: 10.xxx.xxx.1 is a legitimate address for STB customers to be seeing traffic from.

The other address is probably to do with the MSM system trying to contact your MSM Messenger or Windows Messenger. If your router supports UPnP, then turn on UPnP support in the router, so that Messenger can configure the router to deal with this traffic rather than blocking it.
