    I’m not 100% sure, but the first DoS part indicates some sort of a Denial-of-Service attack. Which means, someone is continuously sending you network requests trying to exhaust your network resources and slow down the connection.

    I guess if the firewall detected the attack, it would most probably block that IP to prevent any loss.

    interesting that it's coming from a LAN address though. You might want to find out which computer 10.0.2.52 is, and get it scanned for viruses.

    For anyone who is interested: port 139 is for Netbios session service. Random piece of information.
