---ROTF-LMAO ... about my computer's sudden urges, and relentless insistance - trying to force me to memory web sites.... ((("bbbigggger harddrive.... mmmmore mmmemoryyy"))) LOL...

I believe ZA Pro may classify this under "loopback", "fragmented", "NetBIOS", etc., alerts. Buy the good one next time they have a really killer sale, and you can suppress these inconsequential alerts; or in the alternative, like the old saw: "Don't worrwe; be happy!"
It's like when you're driving to your business meetings in the morning; or to the strip club after work on Wednesday evening: even though you don't have the radio on, all those radio signals are bombarding the airwaves, giving us cancer, making us have impure thoughts, suggesting we kill the landlord, and causing my favorite girlfriend to cut her lap-dances short. LOL...
If knowledge is power - don't go taking over any countries, but HTH:
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Software that automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network. It eliminates having to manually assign permanent IP addresses. DHCP software typically runs in servers and is also found in network devices such as ISDN routers and modem routers that allow multiple users access to the Internet. Newer DHCP servers dynamically update the DNS servers after making assignments. See DNS, DDNS and WINS.
DHCP server A server in the network or a service within a server that assigns IP addresses. See DHCP.
DNS (Domain Name System) Name resolution software that lets users locate computers on a UNIX network or the Internet (TCP/IP network) by domain name. The DNS server maintains a database of domain names (host names) and their corresponding IP addresses. In this hypothetical example, if www.mycompany.com [not a real link] were presented to a DNS server, the IP address 204.0.8.51 would be returned. DNS has replaced the manual task of updating HOSTS files in an inhouse UNIX network, and of course, it would be impossible to do this manually on the global Internet, given its size.
For Windows networks using TCP/IP, the counterpart to DNS is WINS. In a Windows-only network, only WINS needs to be used. In a mixed Windows/UNIX environment, the Microsoft DNS server integrates the two. When a UNIX station wants to resolve the name for a PC, it queries the Microsoft DNS server, which in turn queries the WINS server if it does not already have it. See reverse DNS, HOSTS file, ping, root server and WINS.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) A protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. For example, UDP is used for realtime audio and video traffic where lost packets are simply ignored, because there is no time to retransmit. If UDP is used and a reliable delivery is required, packet sequence checking and error notification must be written into the applications. See RTP.
UDP/IP Refers to the use of UDP packets over IP. UDP does not guarantee reliable delivery, whereas TCP does. See UDP.
