Also note that collisions do not represent dropped packets; you had 4 of those at most. A collision simply delays the packet by a few microseconds (this is all done in the card's hardware so its fast). -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
