--
The problem occurs when the sending host puts the 4 bytes of NetBIOS in a frame
(see frame 1) and the SMB layer information associated with the NetBIOS layer
in a separate (next) frame (frame 2) AND the capture was taken on the sending
host which would cause TCP checksum errors in both frames. If the TCP
Preference "Validate the TCP checksum if possible" is selected, the SMB frame
will not be decoded (frame 2).  

If the TCP Preference "Validate the TCP checksum if possible" is NOT selected,
the SMB information is properly decoded.

I am attaching a 2 frame capture that shows the problem.
