More specifically, you don't want to "block" unsolicited requests, you want to "ignore" them. If I remember correctly, you can setup Linux to respond to an unsolicited request with a "Connection refused" message; or you can just drop the packet. Dropping the packet is preferable, since this give no indication that there is actually a computer at that IP addy (i.e. it becomes a black hole).
