I found out why.
The outbound IP address belongs to a Windows NT machine for a
shared drive.
My paranoia.

"netstat -tu" shows a connection to 172.22.202:microsoft-ds.
This connection is there all the time, even after I have
closed all web browers and network connections I know of. I
still can't think of any reason why I am connected to
172.22.202.*. My firestarter GUI shows the full IP address
being 172.22.202.35, via port 445. 'host 172.22.202.35' says
"not found".
Is this something I should worry about? I can't seem to get
rid of it by temporarily stopping services.
I am running Debian Lenny x86-64, with Samba installed (but
stopped at the time of running netstat below).
Many thanks,
Yuelin.
