SuperScan is a product that analyzes an IP addresses and provides detailed information about the connection. This is great if you really want to poke around the inner workings of your network connection. If your fire wall keeps alerting you that your system is continually being 'port scanned' turn around and do the same to them! Most firewalls can provide you with the IP address of the machine that is knocking on your door trying to get in (port scanning you) and that is all you need to do the same to them. You can find out where the machine is located and if it has any open ports... Any time that you run into an IP address that you want more information on, you can use SuperScan to get it.
Usually I like to refer my readers directly to the company that developed the software that I am recommending but the people who wrote SuperScan (Foundstone) were bought by Macafee and I can't find a link to this freeware on their new site. So you can download it from Snapfiles, one of my favorite sites on the web.
