If you open the connection status dialog, under "Activity", is the bytes/packets "Sent" continually increasing? If so, could be a virus/trojan. Some types of traffic (e.g. ICMP) don't always show up on some network monitor apps. That happened to me a while back, netstat showed nothing, turned out to be that Welchia worm (thought I'd been immune as I had updated Windows and AV, think I got infected though via another PC on the LAN before doing the update). Anyway, might be a good idea to download Symantec's blaster and welchia apps too (FixBlast.exe and FixWelch.exe) and run just for good measure.

My modem's RX light is locked up. Stays on permanently.

That happens RoDent, just reset the modem, or log off/on and it corrects itself.
