Hello all,

I have 35 AlphaStation 250 4/266 workstations and 2 AlphaServer 2100 4/233
servers. All of these machines have a DEC TULIP PCI ethernet card. When
using the 'monitor' tool I see on the average 30-40 percent of collision on
a high throughput transfer.

When I send a large file from on of these machine to a DECsystem 5900. The
high collision rate only exist in the Alpha side and not the DECsystem side.


Is this a tuning issue ?
How can I resolve this issue ?

Thanks,
