Default Local Area Network Connection Has Constant Activity?

on the toolbar, and nothing else running."

You'll have other stuff running. Probably 30 to 40 things that the OS
wants running to operate, some of which can be stopped manually without
borking the system.

For test purposes you can probably cut that back by 10 to 15 by
startrunmsconfig, go to startup tab and disable all for the duration.

The more stuff you can eliminate as being the problem the easier the fix
is going to be.
