- At work we have:
- 15 nodes, some 286, some 386 workstations, one bridge
- 386-33 file server
- Novell 3.11 20user
- During the work-day, it slows down terribly. How can I determine
- if I need, 1. a faster file server
- 2. a faster disk drive
- 3. something else, like differant ethernet card in the
- server or something.
-
- In other words, how can I find out what parts of the network are
- being pushed to their limits, and what parts are mostly patiently
- waiting for instructions? How can I find out where the bottle-
- necks are?
-
- Thanks in advance!
