Slow copying files to server

Does anybody have a tutorial on how to monitor my network to see where it is slowing down?

I'm having a hell of a time getting thing up to the speed it should be running at.

We switched to Active Directory 3 months ago and it is a slower now than before.

Even the internet is slow to browse.

I suspect that there is more than one thing effecting the speed, so tracking it is hard.

Followup....

I replaced our router and everything is fine now.

Are the clients and server on the same subnet, or was the replaced router internet-facing?

The router was the cause of the FTP server and internet slowdown.

I still have a problem with copying files to the server though.
I posted that problem here:
groups.google.ca/group/microsoft.public....890#ae8dcb8de5946890

[code:1]I have a win 2003 std server serving multiple roles in our small office. (file, application, AD, DNS, DHCP).

There is a problem copying files to the server from any of our winXP Pro SP2 machines using Explorer and mapped drives.

I've done an evaluation of the copy using Total Commander & Explorer over mapped drives and IP address.

The problem only occurs on the Mapped drive w/ Explorer.

I captured the transfer on my newtork monitor and there is a 1 second delay between every file transfered. So....folders with many small files take much longer than one big file.

I've read many similar posts on this topic, but am still unsure how to correct the problem.
Is it a client problem, a server problem, both???

I've uploaded the captures to FTP if anybody knows how to read them.
