Do you have a usb camera or maybe a TV card? Here's how to find out
what is using that IP:
Start>Run
Type: cmd then click OK
Type: ipconfig /all
Press: Enter
Scroll down until you see what's using that IP...

I have none of those things. When I do the ipconfig thing, that IP address
does not show.
My firewall (Sunbelt ) shows for the trusted connections, three entries:
127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.88, and 0.1.0.4 and lists the last two as local area
connections.

What does it show in your Local Area Connections in Windows? You don't
have a web cam?
Start>Run
Type: cmd then click OK
Cut and paste: ipconfig /all> c:\ipconfig.txt and then cut and paste
the txt file that is in your c:\ folder(open it, copy/paste) here in a
post.

ipconfig only shows YOUR IP stats, not anyone else's, even if it is
your own device or service but which requires exiting to the network
to come back in on the external interface of your NIC (i.e., it
doesn't use localhost but instead your IP address). I don't recall
that 0.0.0.0/8 must be wholly constrained to be within the local host.
Seems like it could be any source host within your segment of the
network.
"netstat -a -n -o" shows the connections, their IP address and port,
and the PID of the processes using it but is a one-shot view.
SysInternals TCPview will show a list of current connections. Of
course, if you have a decent firewall, it should have a log of
connections, even localhost ones.
Some IP ranges are reserved for private networks:
10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
Another reserved range for APIPA (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apipa), used when you can't reach the
DHCP server, is:
169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255
Some are reserved address blocks. See the "Reserved address blocks"
table at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4. The 0.0.0.0/8 range (or
0.x.x.x) is reserved for within your own network (non-routable) and
only for source nodes.

He may have an extra network adapter called Microsoft TV, that was
installed when he installed his quickcam(if he has/had one). If so, it
usually has the address 0.1.0.4 and will be listed in ipconfig /all.
The Logitech drivers create a Microsoft TV/Video Interface which gets an
1.0.x.x address...
