Re: Vista TCP/IP Stack not RFC 1624 compliant

Well, the best case is to report it at connect for WNDP team:

Thanks, is there anyway I can escalate this? What is the best way to raise
an
incident report with Microsoft over this issue?

RE: TCP checksum failure with offloading disabled (0xFFFF)

I have confirmed that the same application software and hardware has
the
following behaviour under Vista...
* With checksum offloading the connection is fine
* Without checksum offloading the Vista TCP/IP stack can generate
packets
with a checksum of 0xFFFF (minus zero)

RFC 1624 implies that a stack should only generate 0x0000 (plus zero)
as a
checksum and never minus zero. However it should accept both to ensure
greatest compatibility.

Please someone correct me if I am wrong
