netscreen troubleshooting /snmp

What is recommended to use to extract detailed traffic info via SNMP
from a Netscreen firewall? I'm using SolarWinds and I don't get
traffic stats like rx/tx errors, collisions etc. even though I have
this enabled in the management interface.

I am trying to troubleshooting why our internet access/traffic through
the NS100 (I suspect something is going on on the firewall) is so
slow, but I"m so far at a loss.

Checked duplex settings, looked at errors on switch interfaces, etc.
etc.

One strange thing I see is a HIGH utilization on the untrusted port
that is patched into an internet/public switch (solid activity light
on) but on the internet feed to it (a 10Mb Cisco double T1 setup) -
activity just flashes once in a while (so it appears that traffic is
fairly light). So therefore, why all the traffic on my untrusted
Netscreen interface?

These are the questions that keep me up at night. Help.

Thanks
