    Ok.. It is set hard to 100BT/FD on both ends. I don't know if you saw this,
    but since resetting the stats a few hours ago, it shows no errors at all on
    their end, but were still getting errors on our end... The CRC and frame
    errors could have been from a media mismatch when things were first setup.
    Im not sure if the stats have ever been reset. Assuming the errors stay at
    zero on their end, any ideas? Am going to try another server/router, and if
    things look better, start replacing hardware on this router...
