    Hi there,

    I just installed sygate personal firewall,
    and it shows that winipcfg.exe & kernel32.dll is try to connect to 224.0.0.2 , backtrace/whois of spf shows that this is:
    IANA (NET-MCAST-NET)
    Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
    4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 330
    Marina del Rey, CA 90292-6695

    Thank you Kevin, but the links didn't stop my worry, since not all PC are sending this signal, so I use SFC to replace the two file, so far they did't try to signal the "router" anymore. :cool:

    I was only half right about my last post, kernel32.dl signals again on the next day 's boot, so I have to block it with SPF. :p
