I don't know where to post this but here goes. I am using win xp home edition and I have sygate firewall. Everyday I am getting an active response notice in my firewall. I traced it back and it comes up with dsl.bell.ca. I am on a satellite internet connection. Ihave talked to bell my ISP and they told me that it is my IP address that is sending these active responses. I have no idea about any of this. Here is the log file from my firewall.
08/22/2010 10:15:02 Port Scan Minor Incoming TCP 174.88.6.136 174.88.6.54 1 08/22/2010 10:15:02 08/22/2010 10:15:02

08/22/2010 10:15:17 Active Response Major Incoming Unknown 174.88.6.136 174.88.6.54 1 08/22/2010 10:15:03 08/22/2010 10:15:03

Now bell tells me that 174.88.6.54 is my IP address. i have 3 logs with the same information on it.
08/21/2010 11:36:17 Port Scan Minor Incoming TCP 174.89.147.223 174.89.147.217 1 08/21/2010 11:36:02 08/21/2010 11:36:02

08/21/2010 11:36:32 Active Response Major Incoming Unknown 174.89.147.223 174.89.147.217 1 08/21/2010 11:36:18 08/21/2010 11:36:18

08/24/2010 04:41:48 Active Response Major Incoming Unknown 174.88.6.59 174.88.6.54 1 08/24/2010 04:41:46 08/24/2010 04:41:46

13 08/24/2010 04:51:44 Active Response Disengaged Information Unknown Unknown 174.88.6.59 0.0.0.0 1 08/24/2010 04:51:46 08/24/2010 04:51:46

These attacks seem to happen when I am not at my computer. One noght somebody tried to send me a file. I do not have this log file but when I traced it back it went to... yup u guessed it bell. Now the tech's on the phone can't help me they have no idea why my computer would be pinging itself. I have my firewall set up to allow all system and windows services to access the internet.
I hope someone here can help me figure this out.
