Port 80 Connection Question

Hey everyone,

I'm just new to this iptables thing, so hopefully this question is really 
stupid! :)

Hopefully, someone can help me out with this.  I have setup my iptables 
firewall for my DSL connection, and I have noticed thousands of attempts to 
connect to port 80 on my firewall host.  The only port this is available is 
tcp/22 but these requests are constant.  Here's a snippet from my logs

Aug  9 13:38:14 sun kernel: IPTABLES TCP IN: IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= 
SRC=64.228.85.36 DST=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=127 
ID=26509 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=4778 DPT=80 WINDOW=16384 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0

Anyone have any suggestion on what this might be.

TIA,

Brett
