[SuSE Linux] Excessive Network Collisions

Hi Folks, I am experiencing what seems to be excessive packet "collisions" on my 10BaseT network. There are five systems on the LAN and they have a mixture of NIC's. The collisions seem to occur most often when I am installing software or copying/moving large files. I know that some collisions are normal but, there seems to a collision for every packet sent. It really seems to slow things down substantially. Could some one explain what is going on? Thanks for the help! -- D. R.
