netstat output evidence of a cracker?

One routine check that I do on my webserver to check it's OK is netstat, and this time it looks like I was under attack from some muppet out there via what seems to be a brute force attempt to crack my ssh login.

Trying to understand the info, what is the foreign address - is that the attacker's domain name: 59-124-248-196.HI ? If so, how come it's this weird format? And what's 59-124-248-19:dircproxy? And how come so many listed connections have no PID? Are they just abandoned login attempts?

I ran nmap from my home pc to see whether there were any unrecognised ports open that might have been opened up if the cracker had got it, and i see a couple of ports that show as filtered:

1720/tcp  filtered H.323/Q.931
6666/tcp  filtered irc-serv
6667/tcp  filtered irc
6668/tcp  filtered irc
6669/tcp  filtered unknown

I can't see anything running on the server now that might be using those ports, but then if it's rootkitted, I wouldn't would I? Is there a website out there that I can use from outside my firewall which I can get a good look at those ports with? Or some other approach?

Thanks for any help.
Adam
