svchost port forwarded with UPnP

Hey, I noticed something strange after a complete reinstall of my windows XP. I never had this happen before that svchost was port forwarded on my linksys router.

svchost (192.168.1.2:4715) 49619 UDP Yes 49619 4715 192.168.1.2 UDP
Skype UDP at 192.168.1.2:24008 (486) Yes 24008 24008 192.168.1.2 UDP
Skype TCP at 192.168.1.2:24008 (486) Yes 24008 24008 192.168.1.2 TCP
msnmsgr (192.168.1.2:1922) 10438 TCP Yes 10438 1922 192.168.1.2 TCP
msnmsgr (192.168.1.2:1946) 12486 TCP Yes 12486 1946 192.168.1.2 TCP
msnmsgr (192.168.1.2:1931) 8646 TCP Yes 8646 1931 192.168.1.2 TCP
msnmsgr (192.168.1.2:1948) 14022 TCP Yes 14022 1948 192.168.1.2 TCP

Also I found an entry in registry editor regarding this

svchost (192.168.1.2:4715) 49619 UDP

The data seems to be binary. Is it normal that svchost port forwards itself? Thanks for any help.

Re: svchost port forwarded with UPnP

Well, that's what uPnP is for, to automatically setup port forwards. I don't know about this particular one...
