Question on TCP Tuning & Errors

On an ES40 system running Tru64 v5.1A PK4, and with a
DE602-AA ethernet device set to 100mb FullDuplex, I
am getting errors - specifically receive failures for data
overrun. I am reading the Network Admin book and trying
to tune/trouble-shoot for a system that has a lot of network
connections. Could anyone share hints that they might have
tried when getting this type of error. Any information will
be appreciated.
                    Thanks, Jenny Butler
