Hyperion,

Here's a link I found by doing a Google search on "tcp udp 44334"...

Are you running Tiny firewall? Even if you are not, it's possible that these ports are from a legitimate program... some things like AOL instant messenger will use random port numbers. If you are running Tiny, then there is your answer. I like that article because it gives you the basics of what the addresses mean as well... when I first started doing port scans on my own equipment I wasn't sure why I had "0.0.0.0" listed... this guy explains it pretty nicely.
