I almost certainly guarantee you that this is to do with the different NIC chips having different capabilities such as hardware checksum and that these are interfering with ipfilter. Darren
Ok I believe you that is the cause of the problem. So this is really a bug in ipfilter that needs correction. Since this was not the case in the past when motherboards did not have built in Nics and since the pc manufactures have standardized on including nics on motherboards that offload some processes to the chip hardware for better performance, It seems only logical that ipfilter needs to be updated to be aware of these hardware process and take the correct action so the reported error condition does not occur any more. This problem is a SHOW STOPPER. Are you going to address this?
