D. R, A few months ago I looked into ethernet packet collisions and discovered they are part of a normally operating ethernet. (Forgive me if you know all this. :-) ) On your 5 node ethernet segment, I would expect collisions under load. Can you tell that it is affecting operations? This 'may' help. <A HREF="http://intel.com/training/olc/course/cert/fn2/mod_03/lesson_4/fn20304b.htm"><A HREF="http://intel.com/training/olc/course/cert/fn2/mod_03/lesson_4/fn20304b.htm</A">http://intel.com/training/olc/course/cert/fn2/mod_03/lesson_4/fn20304b.htm</A</A>> It's not great but check it out. Hotbot and yahoo have thousands of hits on 'ethernet and collisions.' Steve. On Tue, 24 Nov 1998, D. R. Grindstaff wrote:
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!
