Default Skype prohibited access

I've sent the question to Skype. Just wondered if any of you guys are seeing this in your log.

Why is my Skype attempting to access port 143 of 137.193.213.29?

wb7-129.STUDFB.UniBw-Muenchen.d=137.193.213.29

inetnum: 137.193.0.0 - 137.193.255.255
netname: UNIBWMNET
descr: Universitaet der Bundeswehr Muenchen; Rechenzentrum
descr: Werner-Heisenberg-Weg 39, D-85579 Neubiberg

Thanks
Ian

Hmm, interesting! Port 143 is usually used to receive E-Mail via IMAP protocol. Are you using IMAP ?
Are you living in Germany? The term "Bundeswehr" in the address means "German army"

No not using IMAP.

The destination address would seem to be the German equivalent of Sandhurst or Westpoint.

Heard nothing back from Skype. Hope they do get back as I am intrigued.

Thought I had the latest but had 78 instead of 84. Skype s/w update was wrong.

Have installed latest.

Thanks
