Re: FTP and file transfer speeds

Yah that's high. Although a CLEAR COUNTERS will set everything back to 0 
to see if those are new or old errors. I've got PIXs moving TB of data 
with errors less than 1000 total and you are only in the MB range yet.  
This is one reason why we typically avoid unmanaged equipment in the 
data center - no way to get into it and see errors. The Netgear stuff 
typically works but when it doesn't you have no idea if it's just a port 
or something else. Try new cables first and use a different port in the 
switch too. After the CLEAR COUNTERS see if the connection is better.
