LOL you got hacked... [/immature]
Seriously though, it's probably the work of a bit of Malware like a Trojan pinging your machine whilst using an IP blocker so you can't determine the source of it. Don't worry, I've had Norton on one machine I use flagging up at least three major attempts at trojan entry per week as of late, and the news about the net is that Western Europe and the 'States are under attack from Eastern-Asian malware, so Trojan bounces like this are bound to happen a bit more regularly.
Just to be sure, make sure your PC's anti-everything software is up to scratch and if you don't have Anti-Spyware and Anti-Virus programs, I suggest the following ones. Grab a copy of Adaware, Spybot:S&D, a decent NON-McAffee Firewall like Zone Alarm and a Virus checker like AVG and scan your machine. Oh, and get a copy of Firefox while you're at it, Explorer hit the dust years ago...with this combo of programs, your PC may slow a bit, but it's a price worth paying to be able to surf without fear of being hacked or whatever.
BTW...AFAIK, routers are unable to get infected with a virus. If your PC was infected, then it's technically possible for the virus to detect the router via your network settings and change the router setup, but the router will remain virus free.
