I face a problem with my company?s network; sometimes it tends to be so slow. I overcome this problem by resting the network switches, but I don?t know what the problem is, nor how can I discover it. We have a fast Ethernet, and about 120 user; Any helpful hint.

Make sure to check the speed and duplex of your ports. They should match between the port and the system connected to the port. For example if your servers are configured for 100MB/full duplex then the port they are connected to should match.

Another thing to look at is to see if there is a system creating chatter on the network. Look for excessive collisions on your segments that may point you the right direction.

With 120 users and depending upon your network configuration you may be getting too many collisions.
To over come this you may have to subnet the system
To learn how to do this there is an excellent site at howtosubnet.com

Hi,

I do not this will be helpful. Go to http://www.nettasking.com to download the MAX software. It is a 30-days evaluation full functional software which you could use to at least find out the problem. Make sure you have SNMP agent on your switch and the SNMP services running on your server if you would like to isolate the fault.

I hope this is helpful for you.
