    Well, you must admit that it seems a little odd that you would have no idea what all of those very strange network connections were doing on your own computer; not that you would be able to explain in technical detail how they worked, but one would think that you would at least know who might have put them there and what they were related to.

    The networking "ports" setup are not from a common utilization, it looks more from a heavy company usage though.

    How about a plausible reason for the heavy-duty network connections setup; no computer fresh off the showroom floor is going to come with that sort of network connection setup.

    i really have no idea why it's got the heavy-duty network connections setup; i personally bought it from the store and it was boxed up and exactly as you would expect it to be when buying something spanking brand new. i am the main user although other family members occasionally access it too. is this heavy duty network connection business a problem??? is there anything i can do to correct it. i have owned it for approx 8 mths now so it seems a bit late to be taking up any problem with the store. i don't even really understand what the problem is! just lately we have been having extremely sluggish internet access....is that anything to do with it???

    boxed and sealed, with heavy duty staples from memory, it was just exactly as you would expect when you buy something new from a reputable retailer
