On 2002-08-30, David Schultz scribbled: # I have an older Alpha with a 10Mbit ethernet card (DEC 21040 # chipset) directly connected to a PC. The latter is configured as # a gateway and has an ADMtek AN985 10/100 card on the relevant # interface. I'm getting a ridiculous number of ethernet collisions # on the link (see below), and I'm wondering whether this might have # anything to do with my configuration. (I haven't tried replacing # the cable yet.) Any ideas? # # dc0 1500 <Link#1> 00:20:78:06:a7:82 373564 0 565278 0 142384 # dc0 1500 192.168.3 192.168.3.1 373462 - 565178 - - One thing that I would recommend on doing is to force set the NIC on both computers to be the same speed... like 10BaseT/half-duplex or something that both NICs can support. Mismatched speed and duplex settings can cause quite a few problems on networks and computers, even if they are connected to switches or hubs. -- Linh Pham lplist@closedsrc.org Webmaster and FreeBSD Geek http://closedsrc.org closedsrc.org Every solution breeds new problems To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
