They connected to my computer while I was browsing newsgroups. It tied

It's in the block 194.25.26.64 to 194.25.26.127 which belongs to
Akamai Techologies. They are an Internet content distribution service.

They are the ISP providing the wires.

I don't see how HP figures in this.

Things don't connect to your computer unless you are running software
which is listening for, and capable of receiving connections.

I'm not that much up on the intricacies of net operation.
I didn't take note of the port or how much information was exchanged.
I do have a Hewlett printer but it wasn't on.
