Slow network

[Peter F]

Hi All,

Please can someone help.

I have a home network consisting of a PC connected to a Linksys 4 port
router. I have a Cat5 cable from the router into a cisco 3550 switch and from
the switch a further 3 connections made up of 1 PC and 2 work laptops.

The problem i have is when i switch on the PC the whole systems grinds to a
halt. I have checked the PC for viruses and spyware but it is free. I have
checked the ports on the cisco switch and they seem to be set to 100mbps.

Can anyone offer advise or does anyone know of any diagnostic tools that
would help me solve this problem.

Kind regards.

If you run intel hardware,click on internet connections,click "configure tab"
in the new window,you'll find about 20 or so diagnostic tests,the latest
software v10.3 has even more.....Also,if no intel,download microsoft network
monitor...
