I have software for windows already, though it's
nice, it's rather simple. I would much prefer to
have something for my (linux) server, which
would allow me to monitor speeds to different
computers as opposed to installing something
on each box...
I have a 10/100 8 port switch and 100 24 port hub.
Currently, I'm running everything out of the 24
port hub, thinking that things will be faster on the
same hub than if I have to patch the hub to the
switch. Does this make sense or is a switch really
that much better that it'll make up for any loss?
Also, 10 gb per 15 minutes calculates to c. 11 MB/sec
if I'm not mistaken (which I probably am :-) which
is like double the speed of my current setup. So, is
my config messed up, my hardware cheaper, or just
the hub vs. switch issue?
*Sigh* Sorry I'm such a newbie at all this!
Thanks for your time,
Walt

If you don't care where you are, then you ain't lost.
