Ahh, Cisco's signature mark. ;) If you know you'll always use 100BT/FD, it wouldn't hurt to have your ISP set the port to that as well (just to be safe). > Like I said earlier, autoneg performance is hiddeous, so I don't think that > is the issue. Since I was too dense to notice 0 collisions but high err counts the first time, I would definately suggest tracing down the related cables. Make sure they're not twisted, pulled, ran along side lots of power supplies/cables, etc. The netstat output makes it seem like CRC errors, but it's really hard to tell. The Cisco should give more granular info, distinguishing between things like CRC, I/O, framing, overruns, ignored packet, giants, runts, etc. errors. If your ISP will mail you the 'sh int' output for your port, that may be helpful. > Yes, same type of card, its connected to another ISP, a Cisco but I don't > know the model #. Hmm. Definately try the NIC swap then, couldn't hurt. What's your `uname -a`? This is something recent, right? > Thats one idea I was planning on doing, just to be sure its not a NIC issue. > I am also going to try replacing the motherboard with one with a 64-bit bus, > and isolate the gigabit ethernet on the 64-bit bus.

Good ideas - nice to have so many options. :) -mrh -- From: "Spam Catcher" To: spam-catcher@adept.org Do NOT send email to the address listed above or you will be added to a blacklist!
