Sygate Pro (firwall) has started telling me that SVCHOST.
EXE is trying to broadcast to 239.255.255.250 using port
1900. Using XP Pro.

I have googled for info on SVCHOST.EXE and read the MS
posting, but no mention of this "problem".

239.255.255.250 is Internet Assigned Names Authority.

Should I allow access? Any security issues here at all?

T.I.A.
