Is it your ISP provider's server just 'pinging' your computer whilst connected?

This is especially true if you are on broadband with an ISP using dynamic IP addresses.

Quite simply, there are not enough static IP addresses to go around. Your ISP therefore allocates you a temporary one from a pool of IP addresses. This temporary IP address is called a dynamic IP address.
