How can I test the LAN speed of an office network?

Setup:
5 newer P4 computers, XPP, office 2003, no firewall, no antivirus(yet)networked through D-link router to share internet and two dot matrix printers and a database program.

On one of the computers (the file server, celeron 2.4 256mbRAM), all 4 computers network to this one computer to run the database program and share printers on the file server.

After installing office 2003, the network seems slower.

How can I test the response of the network, to isolate if it is the file server computer, the database program, or something running in XPP?

How can I improve the network response from the file server?

You can try pinging the various IP addresses on your network and see what the time looks like.

Ping it

see the (MS) at ping command milion second more u get ms lesser is urs lan speed but for internet speed go to mcfee.com for sppedometer

Best way try to unplug each computer from network and see which computer is causing that problem..
ping each computer and see which one is answering late
