bus network

On most networks we have elimitated the problem with collisions through use of a switch, or a router with a built in switch. A switch is a layer 2 device that maps MAC addresses to IP addresses, and only sends packets down the cable that owns that IP address (except for broadcast packets). Collisions are only a significant occurrence on a significantly large network connected using a hub.

a collision occurs when two devices on a network trasmit at the same time. We handle collisions by using switches instead of hubs to create multiple collision domains. CSMA/CD handles that on an ethernet network.
CSMA/CD will make sure there is no traffic on the network before a device transmits, if no traffic detected, it ok's the device to transmit, if traffic is detected it waits and tries again later until succesfull.
hope it helps
email if more help required.

If it what I am thinking it is. You heads had a crash on the hard drives and if that is the case you will have to replace them. That is really the only thing that you can do to fix it.
