Can someone explain why the server is probing my IP:

You don't say what the box on your side is. Is it your home cable/dsl
line? A server with static IP? Looks like an nmap scan to me. From what
you show, it doesn't look any different than what I see 3000 times a day
on my /24.

If your box is on a dsl connection, maybe the probe was meant for the
user that had that ip before you. Perhaps the admin of the server was
grepping through his logs and saw an attack or probe and decided to
probe back, but now the ip had changed hands. Maybe the server is
r00t3d. To wide open for speculation. Insert grassy knoll here.
