UPnP service discover attempt

Greetings,There are two hosts on this network that every 5 seconds or so cause snort to alert
[**] [1:1917:4] SCAN UPnP service discover attempt [**] [Classification: Detection of a Network Scan] [Priority: 3] ...........each alert is repeated 3 times from each host to the same destination (the gateway router on this network)
Both of the hosts are running Windows XP and Snort is running on Slackware 9.0.0
I see on the snort.org site what this is SID:1917 - but the part that troubles me is the False Positive and False Negative sections -
False Positives: A scanner may be used in a security audit. False Negatives: None Known.If this is the case why am i seeing these hosts "ticking" like this? Any help on this matter would be much appreciated, I've rtfm and googled and checked the mail archive yet i find no answers to my quandry.
Thanks again, Mark ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
