All,
I am trying to troubleshoot some network slowness behind a PIX 506E firewall running 6.3.3 This is the current "show interface" from the PIX and if I am reading this correctly the input queues are maxed for both interfaces. If that is the case is there anything I can do or are they hitting the limit of this model PIX? I am not very familiar with them to be honest. Thanks in advance for the responses:

you can go ahead and still configure both interface to "auto" negotiation and see if that resolves the issue that you were having about the late collisions, in such a way the PIX will configure itself to the maximum speed of transmission that can be handled
by the surrounding devices.
