Cisco Router Model #3640 CRC/Frame Errors on Ethernet Int, major packet loss
I have a class c split up into two subnets. Ethernet0/1 (Subnet #1) is also displaying the same kind of errors you see below but we are not experiencing the same kind of packet loss there. It seems to be functioning properly. The second ethernet interface (Subnet #2) below Ethernet1/0, we are seeing 60% packet loss all across the board.
I have seen this before, as far as symptoms anyway. My prior experience>I went onsite to troubleshoot the same symptoms for a client and found that he had the switch crossed over to itself. That obviously was causing the problem, voila easy fix. Not the case here. Doesn't seem like a layer 1 problem. I've tried to rule out the obvious but I could be missing something for sure.
I haven't had a lot of time to dive into this. I know a lot of you are smarter then I and may be able to give me a few ideas as to some things I could try. I will post any further information any of you need in the way of router configuration, network configuration.
Everything on the wan side/serial is clean. No erros. Everything looks good from theirs to ours.

You should start by replacing the patch cable from the interfaces. You'll also want to make sure speed and duplex settings are set properly. Make sure the interface speed and duplex match the other end of the connection, either auto negotiation or 10 half. Both ends of the connection need to be the same.

I did replace patch cables.
Switch is not managed but the led readouts verify (as much as they can) that itself and the router are on the same page as far as duplexing is concerned.
I had to replace their prior router with this other because we needed another serial port. Everything was working fine before, makes me think the module may be problematic? Man I hope not! I know some of you are probably rolling your eyes at the fact that the switch is not managed because it would make the most sense to have one but it has not become feasible yet. So I am trying to make their existing setup work.
As far as the router's ether interfaces duplex=10 full.
Thank you for your response and any further help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards

If the switch is unmanaged, make sure the router's ethernet interfaces are set to:
interface ethernet0/1
speed auto
duplex auto
Can you post a "show run int e0/1"
interface ethernet0/1
speed auto
duplex auto
Can you post a "show run int e0/1"

Yes Sir...Here goes...It is actually Ether1/0 that is problematic or so it would seem. I will try setting to auto/auto but the functioning ethernet interface is configured the same way and seems to do ok. But each subnet has their own switch and they are not the same make and model. So it may be reacting differently.
Current configuration : 134 bytes

interface Ethernet1/0
ip address 66.208.187.126 255.255.255.128
ip access-group 110 in
ip access-group 110 out
full-duplex

auto negotiation causes some congestion , both sides must send frames to set speed try full/full

I set it to half and I am not seeing nearly as much loss now, not nearly 60%. The more I thought about it, the switch that the problematic interface terminates to is older and not quite as smart. It seems to be ok at half right now. I hate that I am seeing any loss but this will buy me some time seeing as how it is at least functioning. Thank's for your time.
