Your computer is set up
to accept "IP Multicast".(not
sure what this is?) This is a
setting in
your OS and does not
depend on whether you view
streaming media or
not.
Mcast.net is not a real domain;
it is the fictitious domain set
up for
the IP addresses that are
reserved for IP multicast.
Nothing to worry about.

This means
that some software on your
machine is pinging
64.224.86.159.
My guess is that it's some
software trying to tell if
you
have an active Internet
connection or not, probably so it
can
phone home and check for
updates.

It's still
possible that some program on
your machine is making the
network connections without
asking you. But the only way to
be sure is
to reinstall
Windows..."
Downloaded program Fport, ran it and it flips by so quick can't see anything. Couldn't find help in the readme section-is there a way to get it to stay so I can see it? | |

| multicast is normal traffic you can block it or ignore it. you can block it by not allowing the ip (224.0.0.1) out; but, it may cause problems with streaming media (music, video, realmedia, wma, etc).
