Ya... ???
Explain me this:
When both machines (same subnet) were set to auto neg. then during data transfer netstat showed this:
Code:
[root@sunbox# netstat -I ce0 -i 2
input ce0 output input (Total) output
packets errs packets errs colls packets errs packets errs colls
34922030 0 32892438 87413 703129 523627003 0 521601583 245093 880764
2979 0 4433 15 48 2995 0 4433 16 49
4510 0 6995 14 70 4512 0 6995 14 70
4708 0 7193 19 85 4709 0 7193 19 85
3362 0 5449 11 49 3384 0 5469 11 49

3560 0 5687 4 53 3563 0 5687 4 53
When I set both sites: FULL DUPLEX; no auto neg; 100 Mbit; then no errors occure.
Code:
[root@sunbox# netstat -I ce0 -i 2
input ce0 output input (Total) output
packets errs packets errs colls packets errs packets errs colls

When I posted last time I sent questions to Network Department for port switch configuration - still have no answer (and as I said probably never will get it). The only way is to experiment.
As you see: forceing NIC's to work with other mode that auto neg. can get works better.
