Skype Spyware



Hi!

I just recognized that there is a lot of network-traffic when using skype. I
tried to find the reason and found the following:
mypc:~ # netstat | grep "^tcp"
tcp 0 0 localhost:25872 mtp.tvk.RWTH-Aach:18660 TIME_WAIT
tcp 0 0 localhost:25814 mtp.tvk.RWTH-Aach:18660 TIME_WAIT
tcp 0 0 localhost:15762 c196174.adsl.hanse:9809 TIME_WAIT
tcp 0 0 localhost:24403 c-12eee355.016-22:15542 TIME_WAIT
tcp 0 0 localhost:19649 240.140-136-:oracle-em2 TIME_WAIT
tcp 0 0 localhost:18923 c196174.adsl.hanse:9809 TIME_WAIT
tcp 0 0 localhost:24895 e179012223.adsl.a:https TIME_WAIT
tcp 0 0 localhost:23321 pc_71_245.smrw.lo:18093 TIME_WAIT
tcp 0 0 localhost:20589 458pc.wohnheimg.u:64219 TIME_WAIT

what does this mean? Why do I have connections to pc's (like
458pc.wohnheimg.u) I never heared about. Is this a security problem inside
skype?

How can I find out the complete name of the destination? In netstat it seems
to be shortened.

ciao
