[Cialug] Slightly OT, .. Troubleshooting a network?

[Dave Weis]

Use task manager on the server to check network stats or performance monitor. I think you may be looking in the wrong direction unless there is something else to indicate a physical failure. Investigate name resolution problems.

Subject: [Cialug] Slightly OT, .. Troubleshooting a network?

Have a problem with a small network (six machines, one server & router) -
some of the Windoze machines are taking *minutes* tologin on the server,
and I suspect that some of the network gear/cabling may be having
problems.

Other than pawing through packet dumps or ramdonly running cables to
byass what's in the walls, is there any way to collect 'statistics'?
Collisions? Packet re-sends? Conversation failures?

	TIA,

	Lee
