If you follow as per post 5 your lines should not join. If I understand your problem correctly, the only reason they are joining is because they are joined to a magnet that is part of your actual device. If you create a rectangle over the network port and put a magnet on the side where you would like your line to leave, then join the line to this magnet.
Wow... thats sounds pretty complicated, but its not. Have a look at the "rack elements" stencil and play around with the generic network switches that are in there, you will notice how you get the line routing to work much better.
