Network Probing Software
Hi,
I think a device on my network might be saturating alot of my network bandwith.
Is there any free monitoring software I can run on a workstation that will probe the network and tell me whats hogging the network?

Sorry, yes, we have one managed switch a Linksys SRW-2024 and 3 other linksys switches that are not managed.
The SRW-2024 does do port mirroring.
What do I need to do?

I think I can manage to do that.
How would you scan the LAN network to see if something was sending out too much traffic?

What's your architecture? Layout? Complicated? Simple?
Good luck,
