My dear Goz(James),

Mine network is not a busy one and there are just 5 pcs ( 3 P4-2 Gigs,1 Celeron-1.7 gigs and 1-AMD 2.4 gigs) and hence cannot be simply downed by just pinging. How so ever pinging is done.

Gi'me some other solution please.
You'd be surprised. If you were targeting just the one host you can certainly affect it's performance. The link provided by the other poster is probably more what you are after though.
