Fine-Tuning Network Performance

Is your network running more slowly than it should? A fast, easy way to measure the performance of all active network connections is to use Windows Task Manager. To view current networking statistics, open Windows Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc, and then click the Networking tab.

Note

For more information about how to use Windows Task Manager, see "Using Windows Task Manager," Chapter 21.

In the example shown here, two network connections are active, so two graphs appear, one for each connection. Note that neither connection is close to saturating available network bandwidth.
