Hi (no pun intended ;-))

1. With regard to this question: I believe you need to be "root" to mess with "route add","ifconfig" and friends.

2. With regard to your other question, there are lots of tools you can use to analyze a network:

Here are specifics on both questions:

STRONG RECOMMENDATION:
Always talk to your organization's network administrator before doing ANYTHING - even just probing the network. You can get yourself fired - or worse:
