Cool TechNet WebCast: Troubleshooting "The Network is Slow"

TechNet Webcast: Troubleshooting "The Network is Slow" (Level 300)

"Users never call you to say, "The network is running great today." They call when the applications are sluggish, the Web page won’t load in a flash, or their logon takes longer than expected. A slow network is the most common onsite request and we explain the information you need to troubleshoot various types of network calls. Where do you tap in? How do you set up the analyzer to measure time properly? What do you look for at the packet level? This webcast takes you through several case studies of networks that would make many IT professionals consider getting a job as a lint-picker in a garment factory."

I’m watching this webcast now and am really digging it. It’s a great ’cast if you are technical (or IT/networking/etc inclinded) and are interesting in hunting down "slow network" issues.

Using Ethereal, the presenter, Laura Chappell, demonstrates methods for hunting down where the issue might be, possible sources and recommends some solutions.

This is a "get your hands dirty" kind of webcast, 90 minutes of focused technical content...
