I googled the answer to your query, maybe -

My guess is that you have HP Pavillions or HP keyboards pinging the HP server to see if they are on the 'net?

Good luck.

Can anyone tell me why I have more than a handful of machines sending ICMP requests to 207.26.131.137?  All computers 
displaying this behavior seem to be student computers running WindowsME.  Anyone seen this before? Should I be 
concerned?
