Explorer causes steady bandwidth trickle?

If I look at the networking tab in task manager, I can see a steady trickle
of bandwidth being used at all times. I've tried killing all applications,
and it remains. If I then try killing processes, it still remains, that is
until I kill "explorer". Then it drops to zero.

Any idea why explorer is steadily uploading and downloading? Ever seen this
before?

I took a screen grab of the network activity here:

I have a 600kbps cable internet connection through ethernet, and from the
graph I am uploading and downloading about 4.7kbps at all times.

Perhaps you can suggest an app that will let me inspect this traffic and
find out what it is/where it is going?
