whenever you connect to the internet you use a number of services that require connections, such as name servers, authentication servers and such. the more services you use...the more connections you have, like im, mail etc. and connections stay open for a while after you use them. for instance you'll still show your pop connection waiting a few mins after you've checked your mail.
so id say your ok, but keep an eye out anyway
