@cujoailabs in some cases these boxes can also have quite a bit of software preinstalled that seems to make it behave oddly. On a box I bought, I saw a lot of connections going all over the place, but after looking around a bit it I found it was somehow shipped with a running BitTorrent client and an active download. Stopping that got rid of all the connections.
