Bad Header Checksum

0

Help !!! 3.4% of my traffic are Checksum Errors all eminating from a single IP address. How significant is this? What is checksum offload? Header checksum: 0x0000 [incorrect, should be 0x7d7d (may be caused by "IP checksum offload"?)]

You can most likely ignore it. Check the IP, it's your own. You are suffering the the famous TCP Checksum Offloading routine. See this question, or many others.
