While were on the topic of firewalls I'd like to ask if anyone can
explain what I'm seeing -- attempted port access on my laptop.

I have a physical firewall (IPCop) a requests to ports other than 80
get blocked. On the green side of the firewall there is a wireless
access point with the most secure configuration possible.  Yet on
my laptop (wireless to the green segment) McAfee regularly sees remote
machines attempt to access various ports.  This doesn't seem possible
as nothing should get past the firewall or the wireless security.

What's going on?
