Just one more comment on port scanning. As I mentioned earlier, it could actually be your ISP or a hacker. It is not uncommon on cable modem networks to have your ports scanned. This is why I recommend a dedicated firewall, whether a cable modem router, a commercial firewall, or a home grown Linux firewall. One of the advantages of a dedicated firewall is that your home system is somewhat protected by anonymity.
I'm using linksys EtherFast® Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch --BEFSR41-- It is very good, port stealth, mac address cloning, etc. Best Regards
