[I originally posted on SO but it earned me a Tumbleweed badge. This looks like a better venue for the question.]
I have Apache (XAMPP 1.8.0) running on Vista Pro x64. A couple times now I have seen a pattern like the example below in access.log. Concerning is the "attack" seems to somehow shift from a public IP to a valid private IP on my network (happens to be the WAN address of one of my routers).
Two questions: How is this possible, and what happens if the "attacker" stumbles on a valid request?
I've googled this to no avail.

It may have to do with how XAMP is configured with your local server and how routing is setup to send web traffic to your server.
It's actually common to see bots scanning your server for vulnerabilities and common scripts such as phpMyAdmin.
On linux I would add them to hosts.deny, in apache you can ban them with your .htaccess file.
If the attacks are internal check your router and see who has those IP's on your network.
