5031: The Windows Firewall Service blocked an application from accepting incoming connections on the network.
On this page
It's strange that this event refers to "Windows Firewall Service" when it is supposed to be a Filtering Platform Connection event. Windows Firewall is built on top of the Windows Filtering Platform. Perhaps it's because there is not Windows Firewall subcategory for connection type events.
At any rate as the description says, Windows Firewall prevented an application from accepting incoming connections due to absence of an appropriate Exception in the current profile's policy.
