Consider investing in a good Personal Firewall on your W2k machine (Sygate,
Tiny, Kerio, Symantec, etc.). Unsolicited incoming traffic will be blocked,
logged and a prompt usually will appear alerting you to that effect. Most
logs will give you extensive info about such attempts, though one has to be
aware that IP addresses can easily be spoofed.

Do let us know if this helps. Thanks!
