If you run tcpdump on a machine, it normally will receive the traffic being sent from that machine before the checksums are computed, especially if HW checksumming is being used. For reliable detection of these problems, you need to look at the traffic either on a hub or via the monitoring or span port of a smart switch, although simply glancing at the checksum stats from "netstat -s" on both sides should indicate whether significant error rates are happening.
