MSE attacking my PC??

I have noticed that whenever I browe MSE I get loads of inbound connection attempts blocked and logged by my firewall.
They all come from the same DNS. I have had over 300 attempts in the last 15 mins.
Every single log comes from the above address, and I only get these messages when I am browsing MSE, when I am not on this site I never get any firewall alerts.

Hi dealer wins,
We're looking into this but at first glance I'm guessing that it's just the Forum software trying to set a cookie on your machine, which is standard procedure.
Does this activity cease when you go onto the main site?
