learning mode.
My problem is this:

I am trying to set up remote access from my home to my office.  In the
office I have a cable modem going to a 3com Super Stack 24 port

are running a Domain network that was set up by our original computer

Is there a way to monitor network activity? I am using Windows NT server

Are there any free network diagnostic programs out there to test the
speed of my home network?  If so, where can I get them?
I have a 256Kb cable connection and when I have downloaded things like
movie clips in the past the speed of the download has gotten as high

I'm hoping that one of you networking gurus out there can help me with
a little problem i have...
I have a local network where there are about 9 nodes all attached to
each other by a single 16 port hub (not a switch). Only 1 of the nodes

between the net and the router in order to access web sites on it ?
And if it can work behind a router how should I configure it? I know
port 80 needs to be forwarded to it but what else becouse right now I

I currently have a cat5e network infrastructure running on 100 mbit cards

If I was to upgrade to a 1gibt LAN (cards and the hub) would there be a
