File transfers between two tru64 machines (5.1A PK6, one has 100 mbit,
full-duplex, the other has 1000mbit full-duplex) are taking a veeeery,
veeeeeeery long time.
 
Result of netstat -is:

               4 send failures, reasons include:

             281 receive failures, reasons include:

 
The number of receive failures slowly climbs during large transfers but
unfortunately the output doesn't display anything past 'reasons
include'. Any idea on how to get more information about why the receive
failures is increasing?
 
Thanks!
