hi,

this probably nothing,
i have two questions:

first:
my computer have outbound connection on port 137,138,139 to the internet the status is TIME_WAIT, even though i don't open any browser.

second:
there are several port 80 connection to the same ip on the internet i don't know of (the remote ip range from 16xx 17xx). when i try to open it on the ie it won't show anything (so i assume it's not a website). the status is most of the time TIME_WAIT, but some time it change in fraction of second to something else.

and while those two active i can't browse to several website (including this zoomcities), any idea what those are all about?

and while i diagnose the ip addresses suddenly the connections stopped, so i can't find out if this is really a threat or a bogus.

ps. i use whatsrunning software to monitor the ip connection, and in both the processes and services i don't find any suspicious one (i recognise all the running process).
