Wireshark on PPPoE?

0

Is use of Wireshark in a windows OS different on PPPoE then Other ISP uses? Just for starters, malformed packets are the majority of what I'm finding. Checksums never match what they are suppose to be.

Eric, thank you on your link on your HeaderChecksum. Mine are going out fine. It's what's coming in. Plus all Packets are Malformed and Errored or Warned. But here again the outgoing is fine. Plus many other server problems at my ISP. From their DNS, DHCP, and their Exchange Server. I don't think it could be possible their Routered relays are the problem. Took them 9 months just to get my contracted service speed (bandwidth) set right. Which literally amounted to turning a switch on. I can't imagine what getting this corrected will take, in an amount of time!
