Your "data" will not get corrupted at or below the network level. It can be but if it does it will not reach the other systems. It will be discarded - it will appear as a inability to transfer the data. When there are corrupted data problems start at the top.
What programs-versions---what OS's, etc

collisions? is a fair question - depends how/where the data corruption is observed.

Doubt perr to peer limmit is 14 - they make 24 port hubs.

You make sense but even if the corruption started at an upper layer say in the application layer of the stack and worked its way down and out the door to the network
this shouldnt happen unless its being corrupted when being received.Im actually working on this prob for a friend and certainly need more details I think...thanx
Bob...thanx Vital
