Fortigate router, and security attacks

Hello,

I have a network with Fortigate router, active firewalls and the
network itself is under NAT.
It recently started to get attacked by external class A IP's (several
of class A based IP blocks).
We scan from outside, the network, the whole IP addresses of the
network itself (that should go inside), and they are not visible from
outside (except for a handful of IP addresses).
The thing is, that they arrive to servers inside the network, and
constantly try to attack them, scan them etc, while we see the
external IP addresses of the attackers.

The network contain Windows, Linux and Mac OS X machines (almost all
of the desktops are Windows, and few Mac OS X).
I'm looking for better ideas on what can be checked in that matter, to
better understand from where they are coming from, or to figure out
what is the vulnerability they are exploiting.

Thanks,
Ido
