The above details are from the Xolox 5 minutes after off page., but still people are trying to connect to our PC. The IP address's have been traced back to the people that are connecting to me here, and sending me data packets, also this is where they reside. Bouncy bouncy, hmmmmm. Thanks Xolox, but no thanks.
When you connect to the network your client passes your ip to other clients so they can connect to your client. When the other clients receive your ip they store it. When they need another connection they attempt to connect to one of the ips they have stored. They have no way of knowing if you have shut off your client until they try to connect. That is why you see people connecting to your computer after you have shutdown your client.

As for the connection on port 137, I am guessing that may just be an error with your monitoring software.
