strange log "log.devil"

 A possible attempt to break into my computer.
 
 I have been watching my log files on my freebsd firewall computer and found
the following entry
 which was saved as "log.devil"  But at that time my windows computer (I
have only one windows host + 3
 running FreeBSD with samba) was called dbfwin1 and had local IP
192.168.1.3.
 
 Now it is called winnet1 local IP 172.22.222.130.
 
 Therefore I have the following samba logs in /var/log :        log.dbfwin1
and
 log.winnet1.
 
 Then I saw log.devil and log.(blank) (only log dot).
 
 Then I had the firewall rules set to completely open and was writing  the
ipf.rules which now apply.
 I also had (by setting samba with WEBMIN) all hosts allow / no hosts deny.
 
 
 log.devil

 This error from samba (obviously set up wrong by me) carried on till the
 following:

 Now I have samba set to only allow 172.22.222.130 (winnet1)  and have
written a set of rules for ipf
 so it should be ok now.
 
 The IP from host "devil" is 213.3.192.197 is an internet number.
 Is it possible that "devil" would have been trying to enter a windows
computer generally?
 and then with my system of course was answered by samba and did or did not
get in.
 
 I also am not sure if I he did get in or just tried the passwords?
 Or is the whole thing a misinterpretation by me and "devil" is some kind of
programm  daemon?
 As I'm just learning about the security side of things I'd be pleased if
someone gave an opinion of my
 analysis of the situation.
