HELP!!

Can anyone out there please advise me on how to prevent my pc being under almost constant attack from port scans (every ten seconds or so at worst) that frequently prevent network access.

I'm running XP SP2 and this happens if I use either IE7 or Firefox. My firewall is System Suite 8 NetDefense. My ISP is Virgin Media (formerly Blueyonder) and despite complaints to them nothing has happened.

I have tried releasing my IP address and renewing it. The attacks originate from the following IP addresses:

62.30.0.39
62.30.112.39
194.117.134.19

I would really appreciate some guidance here.

Thanks.
