As our network grows and our laziness takes over, bad things start to happen. We're running in a Novell/NT hybrid environment and we've isolated down some issues that we think equates to some nasty congestion on the network. When 8:00 hits, the network slows to a crawl in parts of the net. I'd like to set up a linux laptop to watch our network for some things that should not be. Specifically: Protocols (shouldn't be anything other than TCP/IP and IPX) Frame types (Ethernet 802.2 only) What software would you suggest using for such a project? I know linux kicks Microsoft where it hurts when it comes to tracking down these problems, but I don't know what applications to use. Thanks! -Brian
