I’m using a Dell P4 with an integrated 3Com 3C920 NIC.  I was copying 1.6GB of data from my desktop to another machine and was using tethereal to capture to a file (no screen output).  After it was done I received stats on how many frames were captured and how many were dropped.  Does this mean frames that tethereal couldn’t capture, yet still traversed the network?  Or frame that my computer dropped because the 10/100 interface may have had CRC errors or something similar?  Thanks.
