Well what does everyone recommend for system requirements?? I have a amdk62 300mhz 128Mb RAM ,and a 8 gig HD..I have a 600 I can use. But would have to reinstall again. I have tried three different enet cables ..When I get home ill try and plug a pc into the modem and see what I get either 10mbits /100mbits.To see if this indeed the modem or the enet.Thanks

So in other words start fault finding at the hardware layer with the cheapest and easiest components to source for you and by a process of elimination. i.e. try FTPing large files across each link and see what speeds you get and how reliable the connection is. Remember Ethernet DOES have flow control .. so if the frames coming in are filling the buffer the receiver SHOULD tell the transmitter to slow down .. there may be lots of DROPPED packets .. but collisions should only occur in large networks with hundreds of NICS in a very busy network all in the same domain. (aka Hub network) .

That is one of the issues. You think that this is normal. Then connection is used all day. Torrents, email, webserver. For pc's..Also this has nothing to do with pfsense .does anyone know about using a wireless router as a switch and using it for the wireless?? If anyone can help I would love any info. I just want to thank you all for helping me with these issues..yeah that is what I was thinking that the collisions are still a little high..thanks.Steve -----Original Message----- From: Bill Marquette [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2006 8:02 PM To: support@pfsense.com Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] errors that im receiving Depends on how much he's using the link :) If he's full throttle p2p on a decent bandwidth broadband connection a 10mbit half duplex interface will quickly build up a LOT of collisions. --Bill On 6/24/06, Holger Bauer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Actually that sounds too high for my taste ;-) > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Steve Spiker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2006 1:49 AM > > To: support@pfsense.com > > Subject: RE: [pfSense Support] errors that im receiving > > > > > > Hey > > > > Yeah I understand what you are saying and right my > > uptime id 1 day, > > 08:04...the 10baseT/UTP wan side has 152710 collisions .Don't > > really slow > > down the network.
