Unknown Connections with localhost

I am using a LAN based Internet service. When there is no task is running in my pc . I mean no data transfer with internet, I made a netstat. And find two constant entrys with local host .

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\Root>netstat

Active Connections

  Proto  Local Address          Foreign Address        State
  TCP    powershell:1040        localhost:1043         ESTABLISHED
  TCP    powershell:1043        localhost:1040         ESTABLISHED

well.....If I run other programs...these 2 also stays. I mean these 2 process are constant.

What are these processes? Any Idea ?

I don't know what uses those ports, a search didn't bring up much either. But it's not going out of your system, why worry about it?

Talking of that MS Powershell........WTF!? Sounds ok apart from one thing....".NET Framework"
