So you don't use IRC and the attempts aren't from
insecure-proxy-scan.chatsystems.com, Dallas.tx.us.undernet.org,
ProxyScan.MD.US.Undernet.Org, etc, and you don't have a misconfig'd
Wingate....then what you likely have are splats on your firewall from
other people who hope you have a WinGate or Socks *they* can wear for
hiking IRC, etc. Scanning .edu's unfortunately still equated with
low-hanging fruit....:(

Consider a Google or Security-Focus search (at least half the
fun is figuring something out on your own), plus bookmark
http://www.robertgraham.com/pubs/firewall-seen.html, and think about
subscribing/reading the Security-Basics list.  :)
