Can your switch report collisions on a per-port basis?

Subject: [fw-wiz] Sniffing out a firewall problem.


Hi All
We have been experiencing a firewall failure due to a NIC card that is
apparently chattering and creating an extremely high number of excessive
collisions.

What is the best way to debug this?
We need to install a sniffer program on a PC somewhere, right?
I have checked and sniffer software appears to be very expensive?
Is there freeware that is available for Win32?

This is definitely a job for the wizards.
