I administrator a 50 user network. (2003 Server) Internet access is
through a local ISP who hosts our Email. 1.5M DSL. Internet speed goes
into the toilet at regular intervals. Sometimes down to 26K, dial up
speed. I have worked with the ISP but I suspect that a number of users
are listening to streaming music or watching streaming video.
I have a laptop with Ethereal hooked up to a 4 port hub. So far, in
just capturing certain users, (network is static IP addressed) I have
so much data, I can't make a lot of sense out of it.
What I need to know is who is taking up a large amount of bandwidth at
any given time. I would like to know where they are going, but this is
secondary to the speed issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You may try using the Statistics->Endpoints (IP tab) to see which IP
address(es) uses most bandwidth. Then you filter the traffic using right
click in this dialogs most interesting row.
