continuous data transfer to IP 224.0.0.252
Good day all,
I have realized that my PC is continually sending data to the IP address 224.0.0.252. Why and how can I stop this? Thanks a lot, Morteza P.S. my configuration: Vista Ultimate SP1, IE7, wired modem router, ADSL (PPPoE) internet connection |

Good be a number of things... Spyware comes to my mind first.
You have several options here from my view 1) Look into a firewall Mcafee or Norton and add the IP to the block list. Also you could find out what program is sending the information and delete it. 2) Get a spyware scanner... I dont really like these scanners but I belive they do work and it may delete the spyware for you. 3) You could go oldschool and format your entire drive /reinstall. This will stop anything from going to that IP ever again! :P "Safai" wrote: Good day all, I have realized that my PC is continually sending data to the IP address 224.0.0.252.

Thanks a lot, Morteza P.S. my configuration: Vista Ultimate SP1, IE7, wired modem router, ADSL (PPPoE) internet connection 224.0.0.252 is a multicast address limited to your local subnet. It could be your Vista computer is using Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) to find other computers on the local network. LLMNR broadcasts use this IP address.

Thank you very much Lance. Your trick (group policy) solved the problem.

I have been having the same problem, but I only have Premium and the Group Policy is not available to me. Also the Registry does not have a DNS Client under the Windows NT key. Do I have to add the DNS Client and the EnableMulticast Registry? And if so, what type of value does it need to be? Thanks for any help, Banister -- Banister Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

You won't see the attempts anymore. Rich. |

Thanks for any help, Banister -- Banister Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com I'd like to know the answer to this too. No reason why my pc has to automatically broadcast across the network to 224.0.0.252 for every program I open. What kind of big brother nonsense is this Microsoft? I share files on my home network fine when blocking this, but why does it have to clog up and flood my logs!!! |
