Roku Stick trying to access another computer on my network

I have Norton installed on a computer and today I received two popup messages from Norton that my 2 Roku sticks were trying to access Microsoft Edge on that computer. I blocked it, of course.

Any ideas why?

Thanks,

Mike

Possibly/probably related to RMP and DLNA (Microsoft Edge can cast/mirror to DLNA/Miracast devices) and normal UPnP m-cast search/discovery operations.
