Re: Slow Connection
Without some kind of QoS router handles packets on a first come first serve basis. It is also possible another user is saturating upload causing ACK to be delayed when you browse or download. Bottom line if T1 connection is overloaded it is difficult to determine exactly how capacity will be shared.
You may be able to use a tool like angryIP to find other users but it will not be able to snoop traffic. However it may let you determine which systems are using the network during periods of slow down.
Keep in mind you will only be able to see computer name when a broadband router is not being used. If there is a router you will only be able to see it, not the computers behind. If connection is configured with proper security angryIP will not be able to see any other users, but it is worth a try.
