These packets are send at what seem like random times often following som action of mine in web browsing, etc. What is their purpose. I have allowed outgoing for DHCP assignment but not these incoming. The block does not effect my connection. This is from a hotspot so don't ask me to check the router.
Is it really going to localhost? Localhost in my experience is 127.0.0.1, so this would be especially odd.
"Typically this traffic is related to normal DHCP operation and is not an attack on your network...."

That is the IP assigned to op's computer by the "hotspot" router. Why would it be 127.0.0.1, that's local to his own computer.

Sorry misread your reply. Localhost is same as 127.0.0.1 so that must be where it is going unless his firewall is buggy.
