If memory serves, a frame is the synchronization wrapper around the
TCP/IP data packet. I would look to faulty network cards or network
cards that inadvertently have the same addresses.... if the cards
are Plug 'n' Pray, then it might actually be a motherboard or PCi
bus error. Comer's networking book, btw, is a std reference
for TCP/IP networking (haven't read it).
