network testing utility

I'm trying to test the merits or otherwise of wired/wireless/homeplug networking in my house. Any advice on suitable applications to do this would be appreciated.

I expect just using the 'ping' command in a DOS window to ping across the network would be a good indication of latency.

As for bandwidth, just try copying a file from another computer!
