Once upon a time Kevin Madsen shaped the electrons to say...
>We have an ethernet segment with 2 pormaster 2e (total 50 ports) and 2
>BSDI servers. The collision light on our ethernet hub is on
>SOLID. However, via SH NETSTAT, I see that the collision rate is less than 1%.
>If I unplug one of the portmasters (pm1, regaurdless of traffic levels on

Do all the devices (except the hub obviously) show a low collision level?

Would it be possible to move the PM to a different port on the hub and/or
a different segment to see if the hub still shows collisions?

>Any ideas? Is the NIC in the portmaster half broken?! The portmaster has

I really don't know what to suggest. 120 days - I presume it is on 3.3.1
or so then?
