yeah externally, background traffic and the like but it should be as good as idle. I have noticed my ISP scans the network a fair bit and as Jack says anyone can access (or try to access) whats behind your public IP address
and as Pimmo if the wireless light is flashing and no one in your house is using it....then someone else is

for wireless I have set up for people, I leave it on. I think Vista would rather this setting as well IIRC, something to do with broadcasting the SSID anyways from each wireless point. The only security on wireless worth using is WPA/WPA2 with a long complex password. Mac filtering and SSID disabling doesnt give much security enhancements
a password along the lines of
nF.'MJ[v-1lMuBILY&<b*OtFq?>IE6%IBhXjJnI";621F/;+/I0$48Loik&9f>z
