Source 0.0.0.0 usually a BOOTP or DHCP request. Is it coming from the inside
or outside of your firewall? If it is on the inside, then is may be a print
server or something requesting an IP address with no one answering.

I have daily about hundreds of packets comming from strange addresses like
0.0.0.0/8, 127.0.0.0/8, 255.255.255.255 and so on. And they are comming
from the outside of my net :)
