Well, if the connection is not coming via the firewall and its associated Internet Connection
then it only stands to reason that another device on your network is connected/connecting
to the Internet in a different manner and allowing traffic on the LAN.

However, if you run wireshark on the server which is getting the connection you will
know not only the source IP but the MAC address which is passing it.  That should tell
you the device on your network which is sending the connection request.
