Hmm, looks like someone has found your IP address, have you used
samspade.org to find out where they are coming from, and have you connected
to the net using the same IP without firewall? If it is dynamic, it could
have been exposed in the past by someone else. My IP is fixed, and so has
only been used by me, and I've had ZoneAlarm installed since day one. I've
also turned off 'ping' response on ports it keeps open for server
applications.
