Any software for testing network performance?

My network is starting to become slow on all the PCs... and bring up windows explorer on machines that have other drives mapped takes a while to come up. Is there any network testing software that I can run to see what speeds and connection integrity I have? It feels like I have bad physical connections... but, I ran new lines just a few weeks ago and used cat5e... Could I have made some bad conectors somewhere?
 

Try 'ping' in dos to check latency

then use netcps (use a net search to find it) to test throughput.
 
This is a typical ping. Any info that looks significant??? Thanks

downloaded it.. can't figure out to do with it...

OK, I figured out how this works... got it working on this machine (win98)... went over to my server (NT4) and can't get it to run. I am tired... I am going to bed and I will just run it off just two win98 clients tomorrow. Any idea why I can't get this to run off NT? Now I have to assign ip addresses to another win98 machine.. *(*&amp;^)*(^
