Several applications are trying to access the internet to specific ip address 10.0.0.138 & 224.0.0.2, while ARE NOT internet applications! ref/eDN3072784783

Hello to all

I use the zone alarm firewall and I see that with vista system almost all
running applications rarely are trying to connect to 10.0.0.138 (where is a
ip address of the router) and to 224.0.0.2 where is unknown address.

In previous system, Xp pro, none of these applications were trying to
connect to internet to these specific ip address. The most strange think is
that application that are not use internet at all, where with xp they didn't
try to access the internet in vista they do! Why? What kind of communication
they try to do?

So we have same application with different system with different behavior.

Does anybody know what is going on here?

Thank you in advance
Dennis

p.s. Of course I have antivirus installed, updated etc.

Looks like ICMP Router Discovery messages to me.
