Hi,

I am having problems getting a stable connection with my linux machines
when trying to connect them at 100 megabit speeds to a linksys etherfast
switch.


I have attached some diagnostic outputs for your review.  I hope that
someone can help me with this problem.

I believe using a managed switch will solve the problem, but I don't want
to have to spend $1000.00 to fix this problem, when I should be able to
obtain a stable connection with the equipment I am currently using.

Try half duplex. You seldom do lots of xfers in both directions at once,
so half duplex is not a big loss.

Use tcpdump to see what's going on on the wire.
