Skype and WMF Link?

Why is Skype accessing an IP address in the 195.225.176.x - 195.225.177.x netblock?

I've set up a firewall to block access to and from the netblock address that is somehow linked to the WMF exploit.

It's strange but when I run Skype, the firewall alerts kick in. For some reason, it looks like Skype tries to access that netblock via https (443), http (80) and port 34821.

Why would it do that upon log-in? Have you experienced this also?
