Nimda attacks?

[Daeyin]

My firewall app (NetBarrier) is getting dozens of "Nimda Attacks" from people within my schools network (University of Michigan)

I am wondering what this is?
Should I contact IT and tell them?

When I try to ping the IP address back, or do a port scan, or traceroute, the comp that sent the attack denies these actions (which is not typical behavior for student computers that rarely have firewalls). But I know it is internal because I can see info about the IP addys (below)

141.213.30.49
141.213.21.56 emaloipc.engin.umich.edu
141.213.21.47 emalfastem.engin.umich.edu
141.213.21.44 emalhrempc.engin.umich.edu
141.213.172.148 marthacook-172-148.reshall.umich.edu
141.213.10.58 earth.eecs.umich.edu


I looked on the net but only got general infor and was hoping everyone could help.

P.s. sorry for the misplaced post, there really is not category for it.
