Diagnosing and debugging LAN congestion / connection issues

What are the top N tools / methodologies used to diagnose and repair network issues?

Given a LAN, for example, where users are able to consistently ping an outside server, but any data intensive connections are flaky; how would you begin solving the network issues?

I imagine issues like congestion, bandwidth constraints, throughput constraints, etc. are all factors, but I don't know how to diagnose those issues.

I'm especially interested in LAN environments (rather than WAN)

Good (free / open source) tools for analyzing TCP capture files?

I use wireshark and microsoft network monitor extensively, but I'm curious if there are other good (hopefully free / open source) software packages for analyzing TCP/IP traffic?

I'm especially interested in forensic uses and analysis of network issues.
