yes. do a reverse lookup on that address.
be sure you've got anonymous ftp set up sensibly if you enable it at all.
it takes surprisingly little time for someone to stumble across it.
my cable modem gateway was detected shortly after i switched it on
with anonymous ftp from someone in belgium (i hadn't intended to
enable anon. ftp but had it on for convenience when setting it up).
