No.

I think this is it.  After reading Pete Ehlke's response I googled 
"reply from unexpected source" and eventually found a user with the 
same ISP as me (ya.com in Spain) who found that after the first query, 
the router would respond on successively higher port numbers.

Since typing the above, I have read Pete Ehlke's post which confirms 
this is precisely what is happening. Would this be a router problem or 
something ya.com, my ISP, was doing?

Thanks to both you and Pete for your input.
