Outgoing connection?

I hope this is in the right place... I did a search (maybe i didn't try hard enough) and couldn't find an answer to the following question.
I appologise in advance it this is something that has been rehashed over and over :(
Any way here goes... i'm currently runnin zen cart on an apache server (windows based). Got it going with the demo catalog. Now the next obvious step was to connect to admin page... as soon as i logged in my firewall picked up the following outgoing connection. From a tracert this seems zen cart related...
Anything to worry about - considering this actually happens after i put in my login and password!?

Direction: outgoing
Local Point: 192.168.1.10, port 1573
Adapter: INTEL PRO100
Remote Point: dc.33.5746.static.theplanet.com [70.87.51.220], port http [80]
Protocol: TCP

Application path: e:\bin\httpd.exe
Description: Apache HTTP Server
File version: 2.2.2
bla bla bla...

The admin pings the Zen Cart server to check for update notifications. No need for worry.

Aie...
Thanks for that.
