geraint, assuming that the following is the equivalent of your script i did:
[bascule at mycroft bascule]$ telnet 192.168.0.4 80
Trying 192.168.0.4...
Connected to watson.excession (192.168.0.4).

Connection closed by foreign host.

seeing that 'https' rang bells, going back to my server config i remembered 
that i had played with redirecting all port 80 traffic to 443, my site hardly 
deserves the title, it's just a password protected server that dishes up my 
mp3s and also runs squirrelmail, seems like i left it doing that, would this 
mean that every query will now get a 302 return? in which case i assume that 
being - presumably -  a bot, it doesn't bother making a further request on 
port 443?

also when you say:
>> to POST the file /_vti_bin/_vti_aut/fp30reg.dll to my machine, 

>It tried to POST some info to the program (web forms can submit
>details this way - using POST).  Probably a (hacked) machine

are you saying that i misunderstand the POST item, 
that /_vti_bin/_vti_aut/fp30reg.dll is the intended recipient of the  - 
unseen - POST data?
this would make more sense and also be less worrying
