SMC router 7004FW not stopping UDP port 1026 attacks

I'm connected to a cable modem (dynamic IP) through
SMC router 7004FW, and running W2K SP4. Problem is,
I'm still seeing attacks on UDP ports 1026 & 1027
reaching my PC and getting blocked by ZoneAlarm.

On the router, I don't have anything special configured
like NAT or DMZ, but I do have the firewall turned on
(SPI firewall) with all intrusion detection features
activated. My understanding was that the router would
block all internet-side attacks from reaching my PC since
my PC IP address is assigned by the router as 192.168.1.100
and is not even routable.

How is the attacker (located in China) able to penetrate
the router when it doesn't even know the inside IP address?

I found this in the Amazon reviews of an SMC router:

A few weeks ago, I discovered that the SMC's SPI feature was
cracked by a different game. In 24 hours, 5 several Chinese
IPs got through the SMC. Only the computer's firewall caught
them, categorizing them as SPI blocks. I don't know how
these Chinese guys did it. But, in fairness, the SMC log
also showed hundreds of other attempts by Chinese IPs which
it managed to reject in that same 24-hour period.
