On Solaris an 'underflow' is an error due to a busy bus. How loaded is your
system?
What type of network are you on? Shared or Switched? The numbers of error
that
you are seeing are not condusive to having different duplex speeds at either
end
of your connection.
If you are running a shared network, then you might be seeing 'backoff'
errors. Errors when the shared segment is too busy. (Even though your
number of collisions is showing as 0)
If you are running a switched network.. then I don't know what the problem
might be. What type of switch are you connected to?

Subject: Any clue to why I'm getting errors below?
Below is the out put from ifstat. I'm wondering what could be causing
the errors in both the TRANSMIT and RECEIVE sections, and why the
Underflow in the TRANSMIT section.
Could(are) the errors and Underflows in the TRANSMIT section be related?
