Badness on my computer?

    Hey,
    I was looking through the logs in PeerGuardian recently, it seems it logged some attempts by my computer to contact an IP in a range identified as belonging to "Chaos computer club", on a port I don't recognise.

    A typical log entry looks like:

    (time)01:34:02 (range)Chaos Computer club (source)192.168.2.2:1553 (dest)207.13.206.147:6969 protocol:TCP

    It tries to connect from 1590 and 1591 to 6969 as well.
    I ran a virus scan using Antivir guard, it showed nothing.

    Anyone have any idea what might be going on here?

    The Chaos Computer Club (CCC) is one of the biggest and most influential hacker organisations. The CCC is based in Germany and other German-speaking countries and currently has about 1,500 members.

    The CCC describes itself as "a galactic community of life's beings, independent of age, sex, race or societal orientation, which strives across borders for freedom of information…." In general, the CCC struggles for more transparency in governments, freedom of information and a human right to communication. Supporting the principles of the hacker ethic, the club also fights for free access to computers and technological infrastructure for everybody.

    Yeah, but why is my computer trying to connect to them?
    I was just wondering if anyone had seen anything like this before, or they recognised the port numbers.

    you were trying to connect to them cause you were using a p2p program. same thing happened to me a few months ago, nothing too worry about imo.
