Im sorry, but im still unclear on your question,
1) your ran the netstat command and saw other pc names connected
are you asking if they are connecting to you pc without permission?

Do you have shares on your pc? do you run limewire or other p2p sharing programs?

If so, is security enabled on your wireless network?

the foreign address is the IP address and port of the server / web server / computer etc. connected to "at the other end"

in the case of connections to 127.0.0.1 the computer "at the other end" is "itself"
