Can you capture the packets with Wireshark or Packetyzer? I think WGA might use Akamai...is this an XP laptop?

Hi,
I have seen one intresting incident where in my laptop svchost.exe TCP 892 is making connection to outside IP 213.200.109.17 port 80
which belongs to Akmai Technologies even is i have not opened Internet explorer. it remain connected for long and after sometime IP address gets changed eg 213.200.109.18, 213.200.109.19 also all belongs to Akamai Technologies.
I know Akmai Technologies provides web caching services but when i am not even opened my browser then it why it is still connected.
Does anybody know why its making connection? what is the significance of this or whether their system is compromised.
What to do? I do not have any clue. please help
Thanks in advance.
