Ok, if you're exposing
any services to the outside world then you can expect people on the Internet to be interested in them. Particularly people from countries such as China which have a known history of engaging in what I will charitably call 'cyber exploration'.
The fact that they are using Microsoft products (if they actually are) is nothing to do with Microsoft, they can't control who does what with their systems/applications.
Best bet is to stick whatever equipment you're using behind a suitable firewall and only allow access to those services from the Internet that absolutely
must be available on the Internet. Once you've done that you will have to accept that a certain portion of the population will
always be interested in what is on the other side of any services you're making available via your connection.

I find this very interesting. Am I reading this properly, did you just connect back to an open port on one of the IP addresses that is 'attacking' you using the Telnet program? If they are interested in you then you've just made them doubly so.....
