Does anyone know why ntoskrnl.exe always wants to connect to the internet my firewall always pickes it up and im not sure why it wants to go out Along with other windows files as well also want to broadcast out to the internet like
(Generic hosts processes win 32 services), (NT Kernal & system), (NDIS usermode I/O driver)

does anyone know what these files are actually doing out on the internet ??????????????

That is a private IP address, it is in fact the broadcast address for automatic private ip addressing (APIA). It does not go out on the internet.
