Basically, you're receiving a Denial of Service attack from that specific IP directed toward port 14850.

Its coming out of China. I get hits like that all the time and my router is blocking them. Looks like your firewall is working.

You could have a look here at MS Technet site. It is a parameter you can add in the Tcpip registry setting to prevent exactly such Attack:

SynAttackProtect
