Welcome to Speedguide :)

I take it you have Windows XP?
It might be a spyware program or a virus...
Try this on one of your computer(s)
Restart your computer then
go to the start menu then click on "Run" then type in CMD.
A black command prompt window will appear, type in netstat -an
If it is a program on your computer causing all of these connections,
you'll see where the outgoing and
incoming connections are coming and going to.. plus the ports.

If it looks like some sort of program is causing many open connections..
Try a online virus scan.. A real good one is here. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp

If the netstat -an command doesn't show several conncetions like your talking about on your computer(s) then , it "might" be some
sort of hardware problem..

Definetly a malicious code overflowing your cache. Check in log / reports which machine gives you the headache, download active ports from www.protect-me.com/freeware.html and install it on the machine to figure out which port is used ( so you can determine which program infected you ), afterwards get a cleanup tool at www.nai.com, or www.moosoft.com to clean the machine. :thumb: GL
