iptables igmp evil protocol!



I would like to know how to drop or deny igmp multicast protocols. because of this annoying console message "SRC=209.247.5.159 DST=224.0.0.1 LEN=28 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=1 ID=16163 PROTO=2". Adding *any* of the lines below in my firewall script doesn't do what it's supposed to do.

$IPT -A OUTPUT -s 209.247.5.159 -j DROP
$IPT -A INPUT -s 209.247.5.159 -j DROP
$IPT -A INPUT -p igmp -d 244.0.0.1 -j DROP

Also tried to disable igmp protocol in /etc/protocols by commenting it but it didn't work either...

How do I make the annoying broadcast message go to /dev/null so I won't have to see it everytime I am connected to the internet via dial-up if I cannot delete igmp protocol?

Please help me
