Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Disabling TCP Checksum

["Sheahan, John" <John.Sheahan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To avoid the TCP checksum errors for my own machine, I disabled the box that says “Validate the TCP Checksum when possible” under Preferences/Protocols/TCP.

 

My question is, although this clears up my traces from constantly getting the “TCP Checksum Error”, are there any cons that I am opening myself up to by changing this setting and should be aware of?

 

Thanks
