Network collision problem!! :(

Hi. iVe had network for a year now between 3 computers and i never had but now i have. I have 3 computers networked and all of them got internet sharing.I use a hub wiht 4 slots. 2 days ago i noticed that my internet speed and downloadign speed slowed down on my computer ONLY. I went to check the hub and i found that the collision led is flashing on my slot. I removed the network cable from the hub and the collision stopped flashing. the othe 2 comupters of my brothers are working good and got good speeds. What i can do pls to fix the collision???? thanks

Welcome to PC Mech!

I have had this issue 2x. Once was a NIC driver and the other time was the router needed reset.

Do you have a router? Have you changed anything with your network card?

No Router and nothing has changed with setup or software?

You may want to start trouble shooting the installs of the driver and look for possible hardware failure... always do the free and easy stuff first.

If it's a hub, replace it with a switch. No more collisions.

True enough however I don't think a replacement will be necessary if he can find the root issue.
