Have you tried a netstat -a -o -n to get a little more information?? This will give you the PID which may help you determine what is causing these connections.
I just did a quick little netstat and i got the same thing but with different numbers for example..
i got
TCP Sarah:1025 0.0.0.0:0
TCP Sarah:137 0.0.0.0:0
TCP Sarah:138 0.0.0.0:0
TCP Sarah:nbsession 0.0.0.0:0
UDP Sarah:1025 *:*
UDP Sarah:nbname *:*
UDP Sarah:nbdatagram *:*
so if i'm not mistaken then there's nothing there that you shouldn't be paranoid about.
cheers

IIRC, Ports 1025 and 1026 are both used by Task Scheduler (RPC). This Article may help you in locking down your Windows services and keeping them to a minimum.
Thanks for that Link MsMittens very useful indeed, gonna be up all night reading now.
So you got anymore useful Links like that or should i just go ask my best friend google?
cheers

Google is the ultimate friend. If you look around AO there are a few tutorials/links on Locking Down Windows. Do a search for NSA+windows. Not too surprising, NSA has some guides on how to lock down Windows.
Ok thanks MsMittens, i will defiantly do a google search, and search through the Tutorials area of this place.Quote:

[edit]
i just found out my G.F. has downloded Motzilla FireFox . i didn't notice that it was running at that time . those two connectins are only present when it is running. sorry about that may be i should stop drinking this much :D
