Hello folks

Sorry to mention the W word...

A client of mine, a small business in Fordingbridge, uses various Sage
products on Windows 7 which generate a lot of LAN traffic, and they're
experiencing various intermittent problems.

There's a Linux server on the network, but it seems to be
Windows-to-Windows networking that's causing the trouble.

Does anyone know of ways to stress-test the network to pinpoint the
problems?

I don't yet know if it's a hardware or software issue.

There are all sorts of tweaks that can be applied to network card
drivers, but I don't want to start just twiddling knobs at random
(because you can get arrested for that).

cheers

Chris
