> I have a five computer network: two NT workstations, one Win95, one Win
98,
> and one BeOS system.  The systems all use 3Com 10Mb/s cards, except for
the
> Be machine which uses a generic NE2000 compatible card.  One of the
systems
> (running 98) is a notebook with a 3Com Etherlink III PCMCIA card.  One of
> the NT boxes has two 3c509's because I'm about to use it as a gateway to
an
> ADSL router.  The whole mishmash of hardware uses a Linksys eight port
hub
> which I already know has one dead port.

if I

> honestly not sure if the collisions are having an effect on the network's
> performance because it's been happening for quite a while.  Also, both NT
> machines have service pack 3 freshly installed, the 95 system is using
OSR2,
> the 98 system uses RC0 and the Be computer is running release 3.
