nmap Xmas scans and unrecognized outcoming connections

Hello everybody

Two days ago one of my machines started to receive several nmap Xmas scans from 73.23.32.79. Later, in another machine which is running under Debian etch, Firestarter showed me four outcoming connections to the same ip address with destination ports 80, 44285, 41182 and 43275. Those connections are not used by any client application and they are not recognized by netstat. In addition, the target ip address (a comcast range address) don't seem to be giving http access, and it have all of its ports filtered.
I don't know how to proceed in order to determine what application is using those connections or what are they used for. They are still active since two days ago.
Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Martin Peluso
