Is anyone aware of a tool (software) that can be used to monitor if your networks connection to an external network or web page is good? We have a windows based network. Thanks for any ideas

You may look at wireshark. I have used it, but not extensively. Not recommended for a noob, or someone with little network experience. Learning curve is a little steep.

while simplistic it is the easiest way to go and will show you more about your system.
you can get wireshark or several others though most anything that passes through a router or a switch is unreadable to a third party.
