I know there are websites that measure the speed of your connection to the internet, but what is the best way to measure the throughput between two computers on a network?

I use Sisoft Sandra for this, but after a while, I just place a 100MB file on the server to test LAN speed, copying the file to/from LAN and just measure the time manually

you can always ping, but that just gives you measures of time.
to ping:
start > run.. > type in "cmd" press enter
command prompt aka dos window pops up
type in :
ping ____________
put the ip address in _________
to find out ip you can type in:
ipconfig
and press enter
for example me pinging yahoo, i could type in www.yahoo.com, so my command is:
ping www.yahoo.com
me pinging network computer:
ping 192.168.1.2
---------or-----------
you can see the connection speed in task manager:
ctrl+alt+del
select task manager
click networking tab
