Hi,
I'm a new beginner using Ethereal,  There is a lot of documentation such that " too many trees to see the forest"
I have a Home network connected via HUB and router and I encounter some latency issues access to the internet.
I can download load full speed but when trying to "surf" the net the pages come slow. I would like to find out which computer and what programs are loading my  internet connection.
1) Can I use Ethereal to sniff the data
2) How can I analyze the data,
3) How can I see the traffic load (Ingress and Egress)
4)Do you have some sample files and configuration that I can use. ( such as filters , color etc)
5) can I see relevant graphs
 
Can you help as detailed as possible.
 
Have a Nice Day
Robert
