Noticing some download activity just now, I ran tcpview only to find an established tcp connection to 4.23.50.123 owned by svchost.exe
nslookup can't resolve that address ("non-existent domain") and it can't be pinged either
i'm presuming it's to do with ms update but my interest has been piqued as to why it's non-resolvable
ideas?

The only thing I can find is that it is on this list of ad servers http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/iplist.php so it may be serving up ad banners
