What kind of router/firewall are you running?
Can you share a snippet that you think is suspicious?

Are any of the games internet connected? Most home routers will pass
packets out and then back in on higher ports if initiated from inside.
(Test do you get hits on this port when the Windows machine isn't on)

Does the laptops Windows firewall block the packets after they pass your
router?

My initial idea, is make sure you're running up to date firmware on your
router. Some off the shelf router's are somewhat notorious for old and
outdated firmware.

But I'm not sure there's an actual problem here yet.
