I have 4 servers and a couple other devices on two ethernet LANS.  There =
is no routing between the LANs.  One is for internet connections and the =
other for purely internal traffic.  Both the LANs are 100 Mbps switches =
(different models).  One of the servers is showing ethernet errors on =
both interfaces.  One interface has more input errors than output, and =
the other is reverse.  None of the other servers or devices show any =
errors ever.  It seems a bit strange that two switches would have errors =
on one port or that one server would have errors on two different NICs =
(different manufacturers) starting at about the same time.  The errors =
do continue to build up, but very slowly.  This server does see quite a =
bit of traffic, but its not as much as it used to be when there were no =
errors.  I am at a loss to explain what is going on or where the problem =
might be.  Any ideas?  Unfortunately these servers are a 3 hour drive =
away at 1 AM.  It=E2=80=99s considerably longer during the day as I have =
to drive through Los Angeles.
