Unusual port activity: Friend or Foe? [213.106.113.200]

I have been noticing an alarming amount of †˜logâà¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚¬Ã¢â€žà ƒ‚¢ activity to/from someone in the same IP range as myself. I have been letting it pass, but its become much more of an issue now that its become †˜ever regularââ‚à ‚¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ and at unusual times of the day (often during the night) ..

I am in the IP range of:

spc1-ward1-5-0-custXX.bagu.broadband.ntl.com (213.106.113.XX)

and the †˜friend or foeââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢ is:

spc1-ward1-5-0-cust200.bagu.broadband.ntl.com [213.106.113.200]

Now, with the last IP digit being a perfect †œ200âà ƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚¬Ã‚ Iââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢ve been presuming that its some normal activity but it does seem highly unlikely with log activity of the following:

This happens through the night, with breaks.. then starts up again; infact its just logged again as I've been writing this. I'd just like to know if if this is normal activity or not - its not something that I have ever noticed before, so I'm worried that both my Virus checker and Firewall is possibly missing something (especially with the late night incoming attempts)..
