I am going to set IPv6 to "Off" on this box although I have not yet done so.  The network spike is very brief, pointed and seems to occur several times a minute during which it jumps up and back down.   The Mac is directory wired to the Verizon FIOS box using DHCP for private, non-routable address and there are no other computers in the house. 

Just to check, does she have Microsoft Office installed?  At least on
Macs (no idea on Windows), it broadcasts on port 2222 looking for
pirated copies on the subnet.
