Case Project 5-2: LAN TESTING

1. To test the speed of your LAN, download the software LAN Speed Test (Lite) (Free version), and run the .exe file. The program will automatically detect your own computer's IP address.
2. Find a shared folder on another workstation or on a server (on the same LAN as your computer), select it as the target folder, accept the default settings, and run the test.
3. How does the tests results compare with the various Ethernet standards discussed in the chapter? Is this what you expected, based on the network media supporting this connection?
4. If your results differ from the standards you were expecting, how do you explain these results?
