Detecting and analyzing network speed
Recently we have our 10Mbps switch replaced with a 10/100Mbps switch. However, users experienced the speed has decreased instead of increasing. I actually feel that our network speed has decreased quite a bit. Is there a way to measure this? And if there is, how or what do I compare the data against? We no longer have the 10Mbps switch anymore so once I have the data and analyzed it, how do I know if the speed we get is normal or not? Currently I have used Ethereal, but I'm still not sure if this will do what I wanted it to do. Secondly, I'm not sure to analyze the data once I have the data from using the Ethereal program. Any suggestion or links to explanation or documentation is much appreciated!

what type of cable are you running, and did you replace all the nic's in each computer too.
to get the 100kb speed you must be useing cat-5e cable all the way |

Thank you for the response but I don't believed it has anything to do with cables. I was able to go into the Network and Dial-up Connection and double click on the LAN connection and verify that the speed is 100Mbps. The issue is it seemed to me and to most users that the speed actually is slower than when we used to have a 10Mbps. So my question is how do I verify that what I'm feeling is actually true or false.
