Rogue IP address

Hi all.

First if I've got this in the wrong Forum would a moderator please move it.

I've got an odd problem.

I'm using Eudora and AVG with a NTL Settop 1mb connection (Ethernet).

About every 5 min the AVG E-MAil scanner is showing an attempted mail down load from address 172.16.30.35

The IP address resolves to:-

OrgName: Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
OrgID: IANA
Address: 4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 330
City: Marina del Rey
StateProv: CA
PostalCode: 90292-6695
Country: US

NetRange: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
CIDR: 172.16.0.0/12
NetName: IANA-BBLK-RESERVED
NetHandle: NET-172-16-0-0-1
Parent: NET-172-0-0-0-0
NetType: IANA Special Use

Which has no reverse DNS Lookup available.

I have no idea what, where or why it's there.

I've run various A/V Scans (Online and Offline), my firewall (Zone alarm) is upto date and Ad-Aware says I'm clean.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks
