This has started to appear on only one host since I installed 3.3. Network interface status: Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll fxp0 1500 00.a0.c9.96.9c.db 17076265 223942 8108206 2 0 fxp0 1500 wrcnet/24 tigger 17076265 223942 8108206 2 0 Our other servers on the same 100 Mbit switch also have fxp, but with only the odd one or two errors. They are K6 300/350 MHz machines, this is a P233. The man page is not too helpful -- man netstat : "The notion of errors is ill-defined." Thanks, Robin.
