Hello,

Totally has nothing to do w/ linux ... but you guys strike me as the types
who might know about this.

I have a school that has called me b/c their tech guy cannot figure out
what's wrong w/ their network.  They have a T line (I think T1, but not sure
about that), but when 20 kids are all on the internet, they have slowness,
or pages don't load, or other similar problems.  Right now, this is so bad,
they cannot teach anything that involves the internet.  This prob is abt 3
weeks old.  They claim no change to hardware or software around the time the
problems began.  I found a bad DNS entry, but that fix didn't really help.

Long story short, I suspect there is a hardware problem somewhere -- but
pinning it down looks like a formidable job. This place is an explosion of
ethernet cables, a million hubs, and a ton of old computers that have been
donated.

So my question:  Is there any piece of software that any of you are aware of
that will analyze the network?  It'd be nice if I could pin the TCPIP errors
to a specific IP address, though I know that's probably not a possibility.

Thanks for your help.
