![]() Press the 'Configure…' button, choose the 'Advanced' tab to see or modify the "Offload Transmit TCP Checksum" and "Offload Receive TCP Checksum" values. In Windows, go to Control Panel->Network and Internet Connections->Network Connections, right click the connection to change and choose 'Properties'. Or, with some 3Com cards (see 3c59x vortex docs): rmmod 3c59x modprobe 3c59x hw_checksums=0 To disable: ethtool -offload ethX rx off tx off LinuxĬhecksum offloading can be enabled and disabled with the ethtool command. In this case, you may want to check and disable checksum offload for the adapter, if possible. If you are experiencing network problems and while trying to figure it out with Wireshark you found these checksum errors, you may have a network card with TCP checksum offload enabled and for some reason the packet is not being fixed by the adapter (NAT, bridge or route redirection is sending the packet to another interface). You can disable checksum validation in each of those dissectors by hand if needed. New installations of Wireshark 1.2 and above disable IP, TCP, and UDP checksum validation by default. Even worse, most OSes don't bother initialize this data so you're probably seeing little chunks of memory that you shouldn't. It won't see the correct checksum because it has not been calculated yet. Wireshark captures packets before they are sent to the network adapter. ![]() In Wireshark these show up as outgoing packets marked black with red Text and the note. On systems that support checksum offloading, IP, TCP, and UDP checksums are calculated on the NIC just before they're transmitted on the wire. ![]()
