Hi, I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a useful tool. I want a tool that allows me to put in all or some of the statistics for a given interface on a router or switch and it give an indication as to if this is within the given accepted levels. For example, the...

Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I couldn't find anywhere remotely appropriate! Anyway I was wondering if anyone knew why there would be a load of netbios broadcasting and port 137,138 traffic flying around our network. There is nothing virus-based causing problems at our end. Has...

Thankyou for that comment. I was wondering if the 100Mbps LES and the 100 Mbps direct fibre connection were realy operating as equals. I will speak with BT and get them to provide some information to me. Cheers buddy Justin

The one on the 'slow' side has 28672K/4096K bytes of memory and 16384K bytes of processor board System Flash. The one on the 'quicker' side has 26624K/6144K bytes of memory and 8192K bytes of processor board System Flash. I'd love to learn how I could use the debug tools and things to my...

All set as you said. Just a quick question as well. Is there actualy a great deal you can get from just looking at a few 'show running-config' files. Isn't something like a Network Performance Monitor a must-have to answer ambiguous questions such as these? Cheers Justin

Bit of an open question so I do apologise. Basically from one site, a computer going through an Intel Switch to a Cisco 2621 which is connected to a Cisco 3620 via a 100Mbps LES connection which in turn is connected to another Intel Switch which connects to the server ... is much much slower...

I would put my neck on the line to say it is not a virus. Is there any easy of isolating a bad NIC and what would the symptoms be apart from maybe a shed-load of broadcasts? We have users connected on 100 Meg switches and the sites are connected via 2 meg fibre links routing through Cisco 2600...

It already does always use xx profile and it works beautifully if you just open Outlook up, as it should. But not through this program through Citrix. We know the program is fine because the same thing works a treat outside of a Citrix frame.

Hi. Got a problem with Outlook when using Citrix. I am using Desktop over Citrix using an ICA Client. We are using a piece of software called Dolphin which is synonymous to the travel industry. The software works beautifully and fine outside of the Citrix environment but carries one problem...

Well it's pretty large. 200-250 Workstations, 10+ switches and 5 routers spread over 4 sites. Would be handy if someone in a larger network situation could help me out by doing the ping test that I am. Cheers

Tried both of your ideas. It does seem that the frequency has become better for me as in 1 in 50 now with times of <10ms but there is still those drops. I was kinda hoping you said that in your network you had occasional ping drops as well :)

Sorry being blonde :) I have used a sniffer and I am happy to accept that there are always dropped packets, I just thought that an average of 1 in 20 on a continuous ping seemed a little high. Any Thoughts?

Sorry, remind me how I can add the delay in as well for the ping results. Cheers

Will give it a go, do you think this will allow for a more accurate result though. I was just thinking that with packets traversing the network every millisecond, surely this drop indicates that other non-ping packets will be dropping. Cheers The BDJ

But is it perfectly normal inside your own network? Cheers The BDJ
