Excessive network traffic -

[Bob Goodwin]

Below is about thirty seconds of data recorded at the RJ45 connector on 
my Wildblue receiver/modem.  The computer I'm using to test with  is a 
new F8 installation [192.168.1.10] and I don't know that it does 
anything F7 didn't do but I see continuous activity, apparently the 
result of DNS activity, since it is to the Wildblue DNS server on port 
53.  Is that normal?  60 bytes doesn't amount to much of a days usage 
but still it is consuming bw.
