Tech: Networked Computers

[Kathy Geronzin <geronzin@hobbes.cis.net>]

There are two buildings in my school district that are networked and
connected by fiber optic cable.  In the afternoon when we try to use the
20 computers in the lab the Internet connections get so slow they might
as well have stopped.  Five computers might continue to make connections
and the other 15 stop.  There are IMACs in the lab.  In the library I
have five MACs and I have the same problem.  Two or three will connect
and the other ones come to a stop.  Can anyone tell me what they think
the problem might be?  The IMACs are supposed to be the fastest
computers in our school.  TIA
