[vox-tech] Massive network collisions

[Doug Huckaba]

I had this problem. it has to do with the NIC settings, check to make sure 
both are running at 10mb half-duplex. On mine my laptop nic was set to 
100mb full duplex and server was set to 100mb half both going through a 
100mb hub. I believe that hub's are always half duplex. (switches can go 
to full).
