Measure Data Throughput
I need a tool to measure the amount of data being transferred though my network devices. Ideally, it's got to be free, and tells me the max data rate. Maybe it also tells how much data was transferred. I'm playing with NetStat Live, which looks easy enough...but is it accurate? I'm not looking for a perfect measurement tool, just something I can use to demonstrate relative bandwidth us...

USB interruptions
Hi, Recently I installed an HP Officejet printer with USB interface; software installed fine and printer also functions normally. The only thing is that USB connection is lost (disrupts shortly) every now and then (somewhere between minutes and hours).
