[Fragmented Packets And Mtu]

What can cause packets to bcome fragmented. We had a 24 port 3-Com switch that, when monitored showed more then half of the packets were fragmented ( even if smaller then the MTU)

The ISP admin swears its the router, but as soon as we swapped out the switch for a newer one, the fragmentation stopped. (this is one of their switches, not ours)

the network goes like this

Outside>>>Cisco 1700 router>>>24 port switch>>>port 7,8 or 14>>>Linksys router>>>linksys 8 port switch>>office pcs

>>>ports other then 7,8, and 14 all go to a patch panal and out into the community.

There ere no problems with the communty switchs (forced 10 full duplex) but problems on the 3 autosync ports (7,8 and 14)

Its running like a champ now...but was it the switch or could it be something else?

Any ideas would be welcome.
