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.

It's normal if you have some reason to be looking up names. Try running tcpdump or wireshark so you can see more about the request. It seems odd that you don't see any responses coming back. Does the modem deal with the private address/NAT for you?
