Windows 2000 Server slow network

[Guest letnes]

My network is running very slow.

 

I have a printer shared out from the server and a network printer.

When I click print in an application it takes a long time ( 1 minute

and sometimes 2) for the print page to show up, sometimes I get a

message that the printer is not responding to I want to wait.

 

I have some shared drives and the desktops sometimes lose connection

to these shared drives.

 

What tools can I use to monitor the traffic on the network, to see

what causing this problem as the network only started doing this about

a month ago. I would like to test the NIC card and the router to see

if there are causing this problem. What tools can I use?

 

Thank You.

Hello letnes,

 

How do you setup the NIC from the printer, DHCP or fixed? Did you specify

a DNS server ip on it?

 

Best regards
