Slow network - Network utilization question

I have a client who's been having lots of network issues.  Is there a way for me to check the utilzation w/o having to own a CCNP?  I check the NIC performance reviews on the servers and they are always under <25% but half of the users complain that they 'network' is slow when accessing their DB server and file server (2 different servers).  If I remote desktop or VNC into the servers, it 'feels' fine - I don't notice any lag.  If I log into a workstation or two - I sometimes notice some cursor lag but figured it was due to their wallpaper coming across.

No streaming radio.

I just want to see if there's a way for me to tell how much of their 1GB switch is being used (non managed) and if there's a way for me to see if one workstation is saturating the nertwork somehow.

Thanks.
