Tracking an IP to physical address

Kind of what I figured is that someone is running a script through someones infected PC to scan ports on random IP addresses. It's just weird that it hit "MY" public address and stopped for an extended visit trying every stinking port on my router.

I have logs that show the same addresses hitting a variety of ports but usually they hit a few and move on. I have never gotten this many logs that show ONE IP address that is hitting me nonstop.

Maybe it is someone I pissed off playing TFC online?

That's just a port scan, and is very common on the internet. Most likely it was random - someone looking for machines listening on ports associated with vulnerable applications/services. I wouldn't sweat it.
