Assistance understanding the output of “netstat -b”

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?

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

127.0.0.1 is a loopback address, it's used by your computer on your network adapter for testing/maintenance/whatnot, i.e. it's not a "network" connection. You should worry if there are no 127.0.0.1 connections when you run netstat :D
