As much as we all love Gibson Research.... Here's a link to their site
that talks about UPnP and the details of port 1900. 239.255.255.250 is
part of a reserved range for multicast messages and other. Gibson
offers a free applet that disables UPnP on windows boxes (enabled by
default). Follow the link on the bottom of the page. We've used it
here a few times as our IDS (Snort based) had thousands of entries from
a UPnP rule.

If it's a hardware router it may be possible to turn off UPnP. I've
read a couple of articles about it. Google it's model number or post it
here to see if we can find a way to disable it.

HTH!
