PDC: Microsoft's Greg Sullivan on XML, information systems, Google
Toward the end of Microsoft's Professional Developers' Conference here on Thursday, we sat down with the company's group product manager for Windows, Greg Sullivan, to chat about the emergence of a "big picture" vision of Windows appearing and working everywhere, not just on PCs, but on handheld devices, the back ends of digital cameras, and the ice makers on refrigerators. Connecting all these seemingly unrelated devices is a standards-driven contextual information sharing system that Microsoft - and perhaps only Microsoft - is developing. Read more

Samba 4 "technology preview" available for download
Samba, the open-source suite of programs that connect Windows and Linux computers, is getting a face-lift with the release of Samba 4.0.0 TP 1. The release which is a pre-alpha, "technology preview", allows testers to use a Linux server to handle file and print sharing plus network logins. Windows servers are still needed to initially set up the accounts, but the Samba team says the new version can serve as a decent backup or to take the load off the main server. Read more

All I did was install the latest version of Messenger and the IGD thing
went away on its own.
Still, I'd ->really like to know what that was all about.

This sounds very strange to me. You may have a wireless intruder, but there's no way to tell for sure unless you run a security scan on your network.
Here's a link to a free wireless security scan tool: http://www.purenetworks.com/securityscan/
This, combined with the latest anti-virus software (such as Norton) should be an ideal solution for maintaining network security. The security scan tool automatically identifies and alerts you of any possible intruders you may have on your network. If you do have a intruder, Network Magic allows you to either single their IP address out and block them, and/or temporarily lock down you wireless Internet.
For full disclosure, I do work for Pure Networks, the creator of Network Magic. So I am here to help if you have any further questions about it.
Also, here's one more possible issue and solution -- on occasion, routers can get into an improperly functioning state, requiring a reboot or "power cycling" to bring it back to a properly functioning state. So if all else fails, try powercycling your router -- unplug the router's power for at least a full 15 seconds, then plug it back in. It can take up to a full minute for the router to come back online. When that is done, restart your PC.
Hope this helps!
