How to learn packet sniffers

Where do you learn to use packet sniffers and the like.

I would like to learn about resolving congestion and bandwidth issues and learn to use packet sniffers.

Where do the network engineer's start?

I think the best way to learn is by doing. Download Ethereal from http://www.ethereal.com. It's free, and a very powerful and featureful packet capture and analysis tool. It comes with decent online help, and the Ethereal people even offer training seminars if needed.
