Network computers "hang up"

If the IT department has automatic backup on the network where individual clients have their new files "backed up" to servers, then maybe the date/time of the servers has been switched from am to pm? If they did that, there could be quite a bit of additional traffic on the network and could be the issue at hand. Usually, 1am to 4am is "prime time" for backups. Some of the machines that I have been aware of do an automatic wakeup during that time. My son got an old computer from work when they upgraded his machine. It scared him quite a bit to have the machine power up in the middle of the night!
A network "sniffer" would certianly help finger the offending source of the slowdown.
One that I have used for years on linux/unix boxes is
I think that they have a version for windows. This is all free software.

Oh, 1 & 2 as in the night time? Most of our serious crontabs run about that sort of time, doing backups and other off-line stuff.
