    Hi,
    First, including headers in the report could be nice.
    Second, notice that the addresses are your local address.
    This is something communicating internally... maybe your graphic driver?

    Some programs use TCP/IP instead of DCOM to communicate with local programe components. ATI Control Center is one of them, AntiVir antivirus does the same.
    This traffic is only local and doesn't actually go out from your PC.

    It is related to the ATI Control Center. Googleing on it will provide a wealth of informational sites that explain what it is............

    Just one example........

    per Uniblue:

    Description:
    cli.exe is installed alongside ATI's range of graphics cards with the Catalyst hardware driver range. Installs a easy-to-access taskbar icon for access to diagnostics features. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference

    So, there's nothing to worry about it... coz it is just safe as it is and not communicating out? :(

    You just won't be able to open the Catalyst Control Centre if you block the connection. To make any future confiurations, you will need to allow it it to commnicate through the Loopback Adapter.
