    Hi Tommy.

    Had a quick look for ya on IANA,they said those IP's belong to RIPE NCC (ripe.net) which is these guys.

    http://www.ripe.net/info/ncc/index.html

    Sounds like they deal with Regional Internet Registries (RIRs),whois databases, and such.

    Thanks. It's only a little bit iratating that 'system' never tried to connect to them, and since one day it does. Anyway it's nothing supsicous i think.

    Have you got windows "auto update" service enabled? (Akamai is one of the IPs for windows updates_ the IP`s do vary) I have just looked at auotupdates and the connection attempt was to akamai_193.38.108.216
