what are ports 32768, localhost.localdomain:ipp, 840, and 631? how can i take these off?

Not sure exactly w/o knowing what all you have running (i.e. network, NIC's etc.) However, I had a similar situation where I had given host names to all my computers and overwrote a localhost.localdomain entry in my /etc/hosts file. It turned out to be the loopback interface and really screwed me later when I tried to get X11 fwd'ing to work. You need to sniff around some more or post your network config.
