Header checksum: 0xdfbb [validation disabled]

0

I'm seeing 'Header checksum: 0xdfbb [validation disabled]' on the IP header checksum. Is there any way to make sure that validation is not disabled? Thanks!

Sure, just enable checking the checksum in the protocol preferences of IPv4. To do that, either click on the decode header line for IPv4 and use the pop up menu option to enable the check, or go to Edit -> Preferences -> Protocols -> IPv4 -> check "Validate the IPv4 checksum if possible"
