Free network monitor

Here’s a useful utility I picked up from Jack Teem’s "Neat Net Tricks" newsletter. Network Probe is a network monitor/protocol analyzer that gives you a real-time view of the total traffic on your network. It allows you not only to identify and locate congestion, but also to diagnose the cause.  Version 0.5 is available for free, though the very latest version is a $300 commercial product.  I found V0.5 worked just fine. It’s relatively simple to use and offers lots of diagnostic information. Just the thing for cheapskate Network Administrators. Versions are available for Windows NT and later, Linux, and even Mac OS X. Freeware, 4.31MB.  P.S. Over the years I’ve picked up quite a few tools like this from Jack’s newsletter and I recommend it heartily. I’ve included a link below. http://www.objectplanet.com/Probe/ http://www.neatnettricks.com/
