Hi Mike - I'd like to know how many collisions you're seeing. It might be well within normal parameters for ethernet. However, I'd also recommend changing from 10mbps shared to 100mbps full duplex - you'll get much better throughput, no collisions at all, and you've probably already got the

Collisions are usually normal, that's what CSMA/CD is based on. However, I would check the following: 1)Check switch port statistics from the switch where the router connects to, I would be more worry on Runts than collisitons. 2)Check Duplex transmission 10 half at both ends forced 3)Check cab

Collisions using 10BaseT, half-duplex ethernet are to be expected. They are the rule, not the exception, and unless you are getting an exceptionally high ratio of collisions to frames output, I wouldn't worry about it. Now, if you were seeing LATE collisions between the router and the switch, I

If the router and the switch are the only devices connected, say by a cross over cable, I would first make the assumption that the crossover cable is at fault. Next, I believe all of the 10Mb router interfaces are half-duplex, so I would ensure the switch port is set to half-duplex and 10Mb (don't
