XP Firewall log

I own a desktop computer running XP Home SP2. I have the XP Firewall
turned on, and have enabled the log file too. I frequently view the log
text (created a desktop shortcut), but don't really understand what the heck
it all means (close, open, drop UDP, TCP,...etc). Is there a website that
explains the lingo of the XP Firewall log?

There is a sub-section on interpreting the log.
