    Are you running any P2P applications i.e kazza, morpheus?

    You have any messenger services?

    I to have some IPs connected to me all the time but these are my loopback ones 127.0.0.1 but on different ports.

    A little more info would probably get you a more detailed answer....what OS are we dealing with? What kind of connection? The more you tell the more we can assess and assist.

    It's useful to play around with 'nslookup' [preferably 'host' if you're running *nix] to see exactly what's the deal with them... but most likely, you have messenging/P2P apps connected. ANy decent firewall should give you some information on what program launched those connections, info ab the IPs etc.

    Like maybe 5 instances of Ineternet Explorer to 5 different web sites?

    If not, you have a problem, otherwise dont panick your more than likely

    Best thing would be to provide us with more info. Some of the information you might want to provide would be...

    1-any programs open?
    2-OS used
    3-the list of ip addresses if possible and the ports they are connected to

    with these info, we might be able to provide u with a better answer rather than just guessing it.

    sorry i couldn't reply i was away for a few days(out of town). I'll send you the netstat if(when) they connect. And no i don't have any P2P networks open and i'm not running 5 different internet explorers . I had my internet connection and aol instant messenger running(with nobody direct connected) and that was all.
