"Some" activity?
Wow are you lucky.
Cable modems are a shared resource. As such you basically share a fat
pipe with everyone in a several MILE radius.
I frequently use iptraf (set to promiscuous mode) to find out who is
hogging the bandwidth.
Since it displays the sites (it does DNS resolves for you!) people are
going to, you can see what everyone is looking at or sites that they are
going to.
That said, I'm not a napster user, but boy they did have many people
plugging away on it.
It's also interesting to note how many misconfigured machines ISP's have
hooked up to the headends. Doing everything from leaking NetBIOS
packets, etc. to local machines and on out to the internet.
Fun stuff...

Subject: [expert] Network sniffing, how?
Hi,
How do I sniff the packets coming thru my network connection? At home, I
have a cable modem and last night I noticed some activity on it, though
I know I'm not doing anything using the network. How can I sniff what's
going on there?
Thanks,
L
