Packet Collisions

[The Man In Black <samz@xxxxxx>]

Can anyone point me to a source or tell me if there is an easy way to do
packet collision diagnoses?

I have noticed the collision light on my HUB (Linksys 5-port 10BT) light up
more often then the past. It doesn't happen alot during modem operations
since its so slow..but at a higher speed transfer...like If I transfer a 5
meg file from the unix box to my windows machine the collision light on the
HUB stays pegged the whole time.

I thought this was from using a cheap network card clone, so i upgraded my
ethernet cards. both the unix box and my windows machine are using high
quality PCI 3COM cards..but I'm still getting these collisions. I have also
tried a number of different RJ-45 cables...nothing helps.

Any advice would be appreciated.
