ifconfig eth0 shows errors building

["mike" <mike@heri.sd57.bc.ca>]

Hi,

When I run ifconfig eth0, my "errors" section keeps growing.
Here's an example output from # ifconfig eth0

UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1334682 *****errors:65273  *****dropped:0 overruns:1 
frame:78897
          TX packets:640316 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:23
          collisions:1729 
          RX bytes:678692267 (647.2 MiB)  TX bytes:144369628 (137.6 MiB)

I've highlighted the concerned area with *****
The error number keeps growing if I run ifconfig eth0 over and over.
Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this?
I have the same nic in as eth1 and it doesn't show any errors.

Thanks,
Mike
