If it is feasible, you might want to move the workstation to work your switch is and connect with a CAT 5 patch cord. If you don't get the errors, then your problem is in the cabling between the switch and the workstation.

If you are still experiencing problems then I would replace the NIC on the server. Just my 2 cents. -----Original Message----- From: Evans, TJ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 11:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: ethernet errors explained [7:33687] You can also get these nice kind of hard-to-troubleshoot issues if your cables are not wired properly; i.e. 'crossed or mismatched pairs' on some cable-testers. Specifically - if the pinout is such that the wrong wires are being twisted around each other ... would normally work just fine for really short runs, but get into 20' or longer and you get the problems listed below. Also - just for the record - we had absolute fits with our RS6k's as well until hard-coding each side at the same speed and duplex; 100/FULL. In our case . Thanks! TJ >""Steven A.
