Hi - Newbie here with first post.

Over the last 2-3 weeks i have been port scanned on ports 2745, 3127 (TCP) 6129 (TCP) - not just the odd scans but 1000's of times. Over 400 yesterday alone. My macafee alerted me of these scans - and they are in green which means that they are on my LAN.

When i traced the scans back i get the following:-
2005/02/01 19:59:16 80.1.236.218:3837 (cpc1-bror2-3-0-cust218.brom.cable.ntl.com) 80.1.236.xxx :2745 URBISNET

Its the same for the other ports.

Could anyone please tell me why NTL are doing this? or is it a case of an infected pc on my LAN?

Although it seems that my firewall is doing its job, this is rather disconcerting and worrying as im relatively new to computers.

Any help or advice that anyone can provide would be most welcome.

thanks
