tcpdump -i eth0

will give you an overview of what is happening on your network interface
(change eth0 to whichever interface it actually is).

If the DNS lookups are distracting, you can do

tcpdump -i eth0 -n

to just get IP addresses.  Paste a few lines of the results here if it
didn't make any sense.
