Remote Connection questions

[<chersk () 9-edge com>]

Hi,

I ran PortExplorer this afternoon, while I had no apps running, and I 
noticed a Remote connection. The details are listed below. Since the ip 
address is owned by the DOD, I was a little alarmed. Being very ignorant 
on security and remote connections, I was wondering what I should do now, 
if anything, and if I should be concerned.

I rebooted and have been checking PortExplorer, but the connection has not 
been re-established. The time the connection was created was about the 
time I booted up this morning.

Thanks

Jay
