I suspect that before you were blocking these messages but didn't notice.
You'll see the "DPT=137" and "DPT=138".  Those are both ports that the
various IP's are trying to hit on your machine.  If you check out those
ports in /etc/services

In this case those devices seem to be using netbios.  If you want to get
rid of them you can just remove the:

-A INPUT -j LOG --log-prefix "FW-REJECT "

Or setup netbios, or block the ports explicitly or allow it and let them
drop naturally.
