Hmmm
Permitted?

Do you have "Is Running on an Internet Gateway" Checked? Unless you are running ICS it shouldn't be needed. If you want to drop all packets to unopened ports and are running ICS add a Block All IN rule as the final rule.

If you create a rule and tell it to permit or deny, from 192.168.0.1, IN, Local Port 514 and don't check "log when this rule matches", it won't be logged.

Sorry I don't know whether you need "Is running on an Internet Gateway" for VMware or whether it is possible to run it simply by creating rules, it may be that Gateway mode is needed.
