Serious SEO question, need help

[EBORG9]

I have been getting a crap load of bandwidth sucking hits from these ip addresses .
The problem is, my stats don't reflect this in unique visitors, just page views and hits.
Anybody know what is going on?
Here are the addresses:
216.109.121.44 11594 11594 400.13 MB 19 May 2007 - 23:13
216.109.121.41 11560 11561 405.01 MB 19 May 2007 - 23:12
216.109.121.42 11374 11374 398.89 MB 19 May 2007 - 23:13

These are all Yahoo!


<edited>
Now when I look at my stats,
awstats shows 150 uniques, and over 2000 page views
active meter (for ****s and giggles) shows 370 visitors today, which is double from yesterday.

also here is the big one, the referring host with the largest number and most band width...IS MINE!
Over 12,000 pages and 32,000 hits. WTF is that and why is my own IP address throwing so much crap at my site?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Do you have consulted your host provider?

I got it figured out.
I back tracked the ip addresses and found hundreds of different service providers from all over the world connected to those entry points.
They are using my dedicated IP as a proxy.
Then I looked at the stats and the amount of unrecognized bots crawling, and now I am editing my robots.txt to dissallow some of the main spam bot culprits.

I asked a question a while ago, "What is a proxy?" ..now I know.
Bastards!
As for my own IP, it's me! I have been making a ton of changes and updates since i got online last month with this one, and all of the reloads, and images are the bandwidth suckers. Should calm down in a week or so, and I am going to Thumbnail the images from now on.

I also found a lot of files from my initial transfer from wordpress.com, that we dead, but taking up space, and deleted them, as well as all the themes that I uploaded while trying to find the right one.

First time for every thing.

But there is good news....I've been listed in DMOZ, whatever that's supposed to do for me.
