RX Errors and tuning question

[steveoelliott]

Hi,

Does anyone know what might cause me rx errors on an Ethernet interface? Is it another machine on the network causing this or is it the Linux box? I ask this as I have never had a tx error.

RX packets:30776742 errors:237 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:239

TX packets:31743970 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

The network card is a 3c905b. It is 100Mbps Full Duplex.

The box is an AMD Athlon XP 1800+ with 512MB RAM

Should I increase the tqueuelen from 100 to 1000 to increase performance? Could there be any issues is doing this.

hi mate

Would suggest that you look at the following:

network driver
Speed/duplex setting (if hard coded)
replace cable & switch port.
