I receive the following on IBM VSE console.

W1 0083 0009: IPT107E TCP Check Sum Failed. Probably from 207.28.246.210

The I.P. address is always the same and is a Win 2000. The workstations using Win 98/XP do not cause this error. Is anyone aware of a patch - and is this error even a problem. I don't detect any harmful results when this occurs.
Thanks in advance

need more info...
Is the machine you're seeing this on connected to the internet or to a private lan?

I assume, given a non rfc 1918/rfc 1518 ip, that it is connected to the internet. With this in mind, the failed check sum could be the result of the obvious, noise/interference on the line, or could be the result of an intentionally malformed packet.
