I will try another em card in that server to confirm/rule out the nic driver. I am seeing the same checksum number on both the source machine, the dhcp server machine, and a 3rd windows xp machine sniffing the traffic with etherreal/wireshark. The windows xp box is running an intel nic as well, and those 0.0.0.0.67 -> 255.255.255.255.68 packets as seen by the server do have the correct checksum. After the nic test, if no change from one driver to the other, then I'll try to un-patch the bpf.c change.

At this point it is acting like the checksum offloading (which I did disable on both the client and server) just isn't working.

Will let you know.

Can someone please confirm or rule out my issue with dhclient sending bad IP checksum packets. It would really suck if 7.1 was released with a broken DHCP client.

I've had many problems lately, but none involved checksum nor the dhcpd
(btw, I assume that you are seeing bad checksum on the receiving server)
could you add a nic to your PE1750?

Sorry for the cross-post, but this could be either lists problem.

I have 2 boxes running 7-STABLE as of 20081130, both i386 SMP. One is running ISC DHCPD 3.0.x from recent ports, and the other dhclient from make world.

The server is refusing to answer the DISCOVER request, as it thinks the IP checksum is wrong, which tcpdump also confirms. Other DHCP clients are working fine on this network, so I do not believe it to be the network, server or dhcpd.

Server is running a 2 Port Intel card - em driver.

Client is a Dell PE1750 with 2 onboard NIC's - bge driver.

I have tried turning off both RXCSUM and TXCSUM on both the client and server machines with no luck. I also tried the second NIC on the server with the same result.

This setup was working just a couple of weeks ago, and the only thing that has changed is updating the src for a make world. PXE booting this server does result in an IP being issued, so it is pointing towards something new/changed in 7-STABLE.

I have attached a 3 packet dump of the DISCOVER requests.

Can anybody shed some light on this for me?

Thanks, -Jon
