[maemo-developers] netstat and firewalls

[From: Sivan Greenberg]

Right, so I did more drill down and it might be a skype contact , however,
is is normal for a skype's contact IP to appear like this and only one? I
mean, I have several skype contacts, and only that one appeared.

I have namp'd the host and it appears to be a windows machine with skype at
443 and port 80 open blank for some reason.

Why would it require mDNS ?
