Does anyone know how to disable TCP Checksum offloading on OS X 10.4.3 (iBook G4)?

I'm experiencing checksum errors when analysing TCPdumps using Ethereal, and need to establish the cause. It sounds like it's down to TCP checksum offloading, so I need to ensure the checksum is calculated before the packet reaches Ethereal.... otherwise I can't trust the data to hunt the main problem (issues binding to a secured Win2k domain).

Thanks!

      Yeah, I administrated a virtual desktop pool years ago during the Windows 7 days. There were a number of animations and effects that really killed performance. I setup a number of group policies to turn off all the things that make the desktop feel unresponsive. I didn't just blindly turn everything off, I turned things off that created a lot of motion, because that is where VDI struggles, but things that made the UI look pretty, but didn't use animation, I left turned on. Kind of a funny combination of settings to see Aero Glass and drop shadows enabled, but show window contents while dragging turned off, but hey, it is what worked.

      It isn't fully a placebo. If a UI element uses a 0.25 second animation to appear, then removing the animation saves 0.25 seconds. That saved 0.25 seconds may not make any difference in how quickly you can click on something, but it will affect how quickly you can see it. Just depends on your goals.

      I had to turn it off a long time ago on my work machine because virtual desktops were brutal when switching. Big thread about it on Microsoft forums. With animations off it's instant. Sucks as I had to uninstall Deskscapes as it requires animations but on my work machine productivity takes precedence.

      Even though this tweak is basically just a placebo, I still find myself using it fairly often. There are better options out there, but the CrapFixer app https://github.com/builtbybel/CrapFixer is useful for testing and restoring the original state if needed
