Difference between v1.4 and v2.2 in checksum fields

Question

In WireShark v1.4, Within a package the branch expands and in the Header value it shows the following:

Header checksum: 0x5dd [incorrect, should be 0x5e16]
  [Good: False]
  [Bad: True]
     [Expert Info (Error/checksum): Bad checksum]
           [Message: Bad checksum]
           [Severity level: Error]
           [Group: Checksum]

While in v2.2 only show me:

Header checksum: 0x0bc8
[Header checksum status: Unverfied]

Why ? Somebody knows how enable this information ? Please I need your help

Answer 1

The way checksum check information is presented has a been extended to allow for more variations. What used to be two binary flags (checksum.good and checksum.bad) is now an single value (checksum.status).

In your first example (of v1.4) checksum checking is enabled(!) and the result is that it is not good. In your second example (of v2.2) checksum checking is disabled(!) and therefore the result is 'Unverified'.

What you at least should do is enable checksum checking in the second example to get comparable situations. This checksum checking is defined by the protocol preferences of the protocol including this checksum.
