Collisions occur whenever devices transmit at the same time on shared media (coax or hubs). They are expected to happen. So there's really no troubleshooting required. <br />
<br />
Now if you're getting <i>excesive</i> collisions or <i>late</i> collisions, that's a different story. &nbsp;Or if you're getting collisions in a switched environment.<br />
<br />
Can you be more specific?<br />

Now if you're getting excesive collisions or late collisions, that's a different story.  Or if you're getting collisions in a switched environment.

I need to troubleshoot possible network collisions... a good network tool for this?

network troubleshooting

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
