heheh.. Is this in the FAQ yet?
The dreaded "MASQ: failed TCP/UDP checksum from [ip]" errors are
from upstream routers/swiches that are corrupting the TCP/IP packets.
Linux notifies you of these bad packets.. Windows boxes silently
drops them.
If you are connecting via a PPP connection, you might want to add
"-vj" to the /etc/ppp/options file and see if that helps. I've seen
several older RAS servers corrupt IP packets when they start getting
heavily loaded.
Either way... this is just an annoyance. I even get them on my
cablemodem!
