I know its a bit late now, but what i would have done is run tcpdump to a log file, for a few mins first, to see exactly what was going on, and analyse it later. I think it is possible that you were hit by a worm, although more likely hacked. Its important to subscribe to mailing lists and keep up with security updates. Its also good to keep your kernel updated, and run as few services as possible. Doing these is easily as important if not more so than running a firewall, even with a firewall up and running, you still arn't amune to attacks on services, although im sure you are aware of that.
looks like you wern't root compromised though.

Well second time round, I've guarddog install and running correctly and its given me peace of mind. I installed Ethereal also to keep a real-time monitor on traffic.
I'm looking at this also, as I've heard some good things about it.0 -

Your PC still has a local, non-routable IP address (192.168.blah.blah). There is no way (short of you specifically configuring your router to do so) for a random computer on the internet to address your computer. No, Eircom shouldn't be reverse resolving non-routable IP addresses, but I don't think it's forbidden by the RFCs. It certainly hasn't compromised your security.
Download chkrootkit, install lsof and run lsof -i. Take a look at what connections are open. I'd bet it's all good.
I've the page bookmaked and I'll give it a look tonight.
