Firewall-Question: How is this working?

Hi!

I use "firestarter" to configure my firewall. I am not expert in
linux-networking, so my question might be a bit "low-leveled".
If I take a look at my hitlist, there are some portscans and stuff, but
I dont understand this entry:

Time: Aug 10 15:14:00 Source: 192.168.0.2 Destination: 200.55.90.253 In
IF:  Out IF: eth0 Port: 1234 Length: 44 ToS: 0x00 Protocol: tcp Service:
subseven

Isn't subseven an trojan-tool?

And the most disturbing thing is, that the source (i.e. "192.168.0.2")
is my local ip-address in our home-network.

How is this possible and is my machine really sending portscans or what
else does this hit tell me?

Greetings,
