Linksys log files

I was looking at the log files on my WRT54G router.

Incoming log is always blank
Outgoing log always has IPs in there. Typically 20-30 using www, https, pop3.

What does that mean? I have googled this but can't find anything other than how to look at the log file, nothing about what should or should not be in there.

I have SSID broadcast off (this is for my home setup where I have a desktop, cable modem, router and one laptop).
I use WPA2 personal with TKIP+AES
Wireless MAC filter is enabled. Permit my desktop and laptop mac addresses
DHCP is enabled with max users set to 3

Thanks for reading.

That means you actually use your router... When you typed this topic, that was an outgoing connection "http"

OK. Thanks. I wasn't sure because I don't know how you can have 20 outgoing connections when the only page you have open at the time is the router page but then again I don't really understand exactly how all this works.

I believe that is by design. Others and I have WRT54GL routers with this problem (probably the same for your model). See »WRT54GL not logging/showing for its "Incoming Log Table"? for the details.
