This is my short story of how a rookie uses Capsa Network Analyzer to solve an easy network problem.

Too be honest, I don’t know too much about network management or network analysis. My friends and I, 5 of us, have a SEO studio and we are trying a little online business. We were pretty busy at that time because our business made some progress on our business. Days ago, our wired network, however, turned out to be intolerable lagging which we couldn’t stand for all our business depends on the Internet.

First action we took was to do is to check antivirus software. We had antivirus Mcfee installed on all our computers and updated. But there wasn’t a virus caught after a full scanning of all our computers. Now we took it seriously, we checked all the ports and the router we used to connect all our computers and tried all the means on Google. Nothing helped. Time is money; we had to get that smooth internet connection for our business. Regretfully, we hadn’t had a computer geek friend around. Also it’s not our style to pay a penny to hire someone to fix this. We were on our own.

Good news from Erik, one in our studio, he found out there was a program, WireShark, would fix our network. We all are disappointed again when we run it. None of us knew where to start checking which we couldn’t understand.

After his hard searching, we found this Capsa Network Analyzer Demo version and couldn’t wait to give it a try. First we noticed that there were lots of “ARP Too Many Unrequested Response” in its Diagnosis. We immediately got from its explanation that the two IP addressed computers were the causes. We took the two computers off the router and we had our network back. As the two computers, we only had to have them reinstalled OS. We were so pleased that we had our business back.

Thanks Capsa Network Analyzer.
