Network Statistics

The values in this section are updated every time the Diagnostic Report is displayed. To refresh only this section, select Diagnostic Report (on the menu under Maintenance) rather than pressing the Refresh button. New network statistics will be displayed without waiting for the network requests to all of the DNS servers, WINS servers, domain controllers, and printers.
