This email is coming to you over 430 feet of cat5e cable, which is good
news, because it means that my "long-haul" ethernet link is working, at
least it appears to be. Does anyone know of any good software to test
and diagnose an ethernet network so I can be confident that I'm not
getting any dropped packets?

But yes, Ethereal is probably good.
Can Ethereal diagnose the physical aspects an ethernet network? My
understanding is that by the time Ethereal gets its hands on the data,
any diagnosis of the physical network is impossible. I want to know if
I'm getting any dropped packets, bit errors, and stuff of that nature.
Something like netperf but for diagnosis of the physical stuff. Any
other ideas?
Thanks.
