ntop [1] will give you a comprehensive overview of what's happening.

There was a SSH brute-force attack slithering around the 'Net a few weeks ago. 
You may well be a victim of that, because the symptoms you describe are very 
similar to what I suffered. I'd suggest that you protect every protectable 
open port with certificates, and close the rest.

An nmap [2] scan from outside your net will tell you about any remaining open 
ports you may have missed. 

I'm a convert to the pfSense [3] firewall too.
