May 27, 200719 yr Hi all, i need your help with something i have a network contain about 300 machines and they are connected via switches some machines on one branch crash to the network i know that cause when i turn off all machines in this building network working fine, but i want to isolate the problem, so i think i need to monitor the traffic from all machines to get which one cause these problems any software recommendations?
May 27, 200719 yr Being that you're working on a Sunday and can shut all the machines in the building down, I'm assuming the place is closed. So I'd try a slightly more low-tech approach.If the network is fine with all machines off start there, and then turn the machines on one at a time. Keep an eye on the switch to see which machine makes it light up like a christmas tree.A quik burst of activity is normal as it anonuces itself on the wire, but if it continues then you've got either a chatty NIC, or a tweaker that has borked their workstation.Just a ThoughtStoic Joker
May 28, 200719 yr How about setting a firewall on one of the systems and monitor for intrusion/attack signals.maybe a worm/virus or trojan presents in the network.

May 28, 200719 yr Mmm dont you think WireShark(Ethereal) is too pro for him? Nope. But I know him from another forum. His english is (2nd language) terrible when he gets excited, but he knows what he's doing.
June 4, 200719 yr Author Stoic Joker, thanks so much for informing him, Woomera i think i know a lot more than you so don't try to judge about people and try to learn something useful better, and by the way i just checked your earlier posts, and i recommend you to get Windows XP track before you try to reply to anymore posts .
