You need to be connected to a switchport that gives you ALL the network
traffic or at least the traffic on your outbound connection.  Otherwise you
are only going to be able to capture the traffic that your switchport
assigns to you/your computer.
You will have to consult your switch's documentation on how to accomplish
this, some manufacturers use different terms like mirror, monitor, tap, and
some may accomplish slightly different functionality.

 My users complain about slow internet.

We have a T1 line for 15 users.



PC PITStop shows the following stats :



Download Speed: 59 kbps (7.4 KB/sec transfer rate)

Upload Speed: 655 kbps (81.9 KB/sec transfer rate)

Latency: 94 ms





Our T1 provider says we are using all bandwidth.



When I run Wireshark, I don't show anything that appears to be a real
bandwidth hog.

A 2 minute run of Wireshark shows avg bytes per second is 318.

So LAN traffic seems lite.



How can I troubleshoot where the real problem lies?
