Assistance understanding the output of “netstat -b”

Oasisfactor · 13 Mar 2015

I’m using Windows 7 64-Bit, and ran netstat -b and it outputted the data to a text file. Their are 4 columns “Proto,” “Local Address,” “Foreign Address,” and “State. The “Foreign Address” states my computer name, and a port number. Their are at least 9 others like this, just a different port on the local address and foreign address. See screenshot.

What does it mean, and how can I fix it?

netstat --help

Why do you believe there is anything that needs fixing? It all looks quite ordinary.
