Win7: netstat -o results: can you explain? odd connections

Hello Experts,

Most mornings, after boot up, I open cmd and run netstat -o.
I have no processes running at boot (expect Kaspersky).
My host name is donna.

Below netstat -o results
Active Connections
  Proto  Local Address          Foreign Address        State           PID
  TCP    127.0.0.1:1030         donna:5354             ESTABLISHED     1736 (AppleMobileDeviceService.exe)

  Then, I wait a few min, run the command again and get: 
  
C:\>netstat -o
Active Connections

Open in new window


Then, I go my linux machine and search for the IP address with no PID and get:

[user1@test ~]$ whois 38.117.98.199

PSINet, Inc. COGENT-A (NET-38-0-0-0-1) 38.0.0.0 - 38.255.255.255
PSINet, Inc. COGENT-NB-0002 (NET-38-112-0-0-1) 38.112.0.0 - 38.119.255.255

Open in new window


I search the web and find PSINet is owned by Cogent Communications.

Questions:
1. What are these, any ideas why they have Established connection to my host:
a23-66-136-154:http
COX-66-210-41-10-static:http
COX-66-210-41-16-static:http

(Cox communications is my ISP; but why do they have an active communications to my host?)

2. what is this process, any ideas why does it have Established connection to my host?
38.117.98.199:http

I have no apps, browsers or anything active on this host.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you Experts,

"is your isp /or router lan address set as a gateway for your host NIC?"
the router default address is set as gateway, yes...

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.116(Preferred)
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Wednesday, January 28, 2015 5:24:19 AM
   Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Thursday, January 29, 2015 5:24:19 AM
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

This is the only way I know how to add default access to the internet to a host...  

----

I ran the suggested command, but get an odd msg:

C:\>netstat -a -n -o -b
The requested operation requires elevation.

I am logged in as administrator...

never seen this msg before

------

I do have an anti-virus running.. Kaspersky... its PID and established address is ok is clear and verifiable..

------

Thank you for your help, any other suggestions?

Regards
You had better use x-netstat to monitor all Network  traffic that establishes with your machine and all process and program related https://www.freshsoftware.com/xns/pro/
