i'm running win98 and i have my computer on a router so i can share my internet with my dad. I am running Norton Personal Firewall, and every 3 minutes, exactly, i get a blocked IGMP packet. is this some 1 trying to get onto my computer? should i report this? it almost seems like it might be something coming from my router since its every 3 minutes exactly. and its been going on for a while. this is the details that NPF gives:

Date: 7/27/01 Time: 0:42:20
Blocked inbound IGMP packet. Details:
Remote address (192.168.100.1)
Local address (224.0.0.1)

the address that my router assigns my computer is 192.168.1.101. thats another reason y it seems like its coming from my router. any 1 have any ideas as to what the cause of this is? any ideas how i might stop it?
