I'd suspect that if he flipped to half-duplex, that the collisions would increase substantially - it's at 0, so I'd think it's ok there.

Compared to the DSL modem connected to this OpenBSD sparc box, you have twice the packets, but 10 times the amount of errors.

smokeping / cacti would help to identify a trend in this in the future.

I've found that I've had to reset my dsl modem a few times this year - then restart the pppoe session.

That's errors between you and the modem. Did you flip to half duplex?

try "ethtool eth0"

Also, reboot cable modem, replace cable.

Is it possible the modem has gone? Should I just demand a new modem to see if it fixes the problem?

From ifconfig eth0 (my nic to a Shaw Cisco DOCSIS 3.0 gateway modem)...

In particular -> errors:10935 dropped:0 overruns:14571 frame:10935

Is this just a major node congestion problem or a faulty modem?
