So I open up AIM and then do a netstat -n.
It shows three ip's with the aim port. normal enough(even though there was only one buddy on. I guess you have to connect to a server first.). Then I pinged all of them just to see if they would respond. Then I do netstat -n again and get the same three ip's with the aim ports plus two other one's with port 80. So I open up ie and type in the two ip's and both get the same thing, a page which says "nothing to see here". one of the ip's started with 205 and the other with 64. Here is the source from view source in ie:

<HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv="pics-label" content='(pics-1.1 "http://www.icra.org/ratingsv02.html" l r (ca 1 lz 1 nz 1 oz 1 vz 1) gen true for "http://64.12.174.185" r (ca 1 lz 1 nz 1 oz 1 vz 1) "http://www.rsac.org/ratingsv01.html" l r (n 0 s 0 v 0 l 0) gen true for "http://64.12.174.185" r (n 0 s 0 v 0 l 0))' /></HEAD><BODY>Nothing to see here</BODY></HTML>

What do you all make of this?

thanks
