 strange pptp from one of my servers

Hi all,

was logged onto one of my mail servers today, and randomly did a netstat, and i see a weird connection.
there is an open and establish PPTP via HTTP to
218-228-220-5.eonet.ne.jp.

I dont remember ever dealing with this address for anything. I always patch boxes asap, run AV software, and software firewalls, and this box sits behind a hw firewall too.

any ideas on what this could be?

Is 218.228.220.5 their IP address? The name often has the IP address incorporated in it, but names can be anything.

It is behind a HW FW. So does that mean the connection had to be initiated from your system? So a trojan maybe?

I would start with a virus scan with updated signatures, since it is easy to do.

Also see if there is any evidence of spam flowing out of your system.

yes it is their ip address.
and the connection was initiated by my machine.
I run weekly virus scans, and have a trojan guard app running.
No spam seems to be flowing out via the normal ways, traffic seems normal. this is wierd..
