How often does it turn up? The ip address itself would be useful but it could just be a news servers that hasn't been secured properly.
Could be this site? http://pnews.org/
Erm isn't that an internal network address? Have you checked for spyware, trojan, virus activity lately?
Try opening a command prompt and type
netstat /a
and see what ports are active.
Probably won't show as active for pnews, are any ports active that shouldn't be? I would close all browser windows and any emai or messenger tools and see what still remains active in netstat. Are you running a software firewall too or are you relying on the router?
In that case it might be an idea to do a few scans of the PCs on your network, particularly the one showing the IP address in your router log. Might just be a toolbar or something requesting information.
