Explanation / Answer

->Many users will stop a hub dead with collisions. As far athe two blinking collision lights unplug thse cables and replugthem back in at different times.
->The rebroadcast timers are in sync with each other. ->They need to dump the hubs and replace with 10/100 oreven Gigabit switchers. ->That will get rid of some of the collisions. Also, makesure that all the computers have at least a 10/100 NIC if not aGigabit NIC also. Also check to make sure that the ethernet cablesare true CAT-5 or 5E so that they can carry that fast signal. Allcables should have 8 wires. ITS HELPFUL TO YOU.........
