what kind of firewall protection do you have? I have two kinds...a
physical
and a softwa Linksys and Norton Personal Firewall. I have had several
attempts made to get into my PC at home and they were all caught before
getting into my PC.

A webserver has to keep it's ports open and respond to requests. A
physical
firewall or a well set up professional router (ie. Cisco,) is needed to
properly protect a webserver, a software solution will use too much server
resources or potentially block valid requests. (My previous job was as a
networking engineer.)
