    Network cogging

    At my work, I need to make sure none of computers is causing the network to cog making the browsing website a frustrating experience so how can I check for that malware or bad host list. I need to do that checking first before we complain loudly at our ISP.

    Cheers, Wizard

      Not really sure what you are asking but you should notify your network Admin and they will know what to do if browsing is slow on your works network.

          Check the speed that your router is connected to your DSL service.
          Is it the same speed every day or every time you restart the modem?

          If you have a linux based firewall that allows you to perform a packet capture, do that.

              Would need much more info to give really good pointers. However one easy way would be to just make sure each computer don't have any programs running, and just watch the activitylight on the networkcard. If its just giving a blink here and there, should be fine, if its blinking furiously something fishy is going on. Finding out what can be done with some netstat maybe or other tools.

                  Cogging is what I mean by I click on anything, wait, and wait....if I click then one second later click again it responds better but slowly. And happens all the time and this is not at my home. It is at my work. It is not the network speed or the ISP's speed. I need to make sure all of the computers is not jamming the network then I have case to complain about loudly to the ISP.

                  Is there a way to investigate that?

                      For these types of problems, I usually use a network protocol analyzer to see what is "on the network". You can use free tools like

                      http://www.ethereal.com

                      to see what is causing the slowdown.

                                  You could well just have a DNS lookup problem.
                                  Try changing your DNS servers to use OpenDNS - 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220.

                                      Fixed a 9 year old UN55JU650 by replacing backlight. Original backlight LED was still working after 27k! hours but terrible picture of course. Few LEDs were out, 5-6 lens fell off (bright white spots) and another few popped off with slightest force. Surviving LEDs were all slightly blue so picture has a blue tint.

                                      by davg
                                      I just bought a new ThinkPad laptop and I need to connect it to my home network. I have several computers on my network and can see each other in File Explorer and the older ones can communicate with each other (even with the new one) but the ThinkPad can see the other computers but can't communicate with them. I get the (network error 0x80070035 The network path not found). I tried several scenarios that I found on line but none of them worked?? Since the other computers on the network can communicate fine I'm assuming the problem is with the setup of the ThinkPad? All computers are running Windows...

                                      Maximum speed should be marked on network ports
                                      by japlytic
                                      I noted that a number of consumer entertainment devices have the maximum speed marked on the wired network port and considering that there are broadband plans faster than 100 Mbit, the wired network port can be a bottleneck since some routers do not have Gigabit (only 100 Mbit) support for the WAN port let alone the wired network ports.

                                      One other thing: Certain low cost network cables only have two pairs which limits speed to 100 Mbit.​
