Hmmm, now that makes no sense.   Are you sure that is the error?

The original error indicates that the checksum being returned by the 
adapter (hw) for v4 tcp packets is wrong.  This can mean that there
is a network issue leading to corruption of packets, or that for
some reason the driver is not getting the value correctly from the 
adapter.  Since there seems to be an association between the Intel
chipset and kernel 2.4.18 in some of the previous posts, I think that
it is wiser to believe that the eepro100  driver in that version of the 
kernel has an issue.  The other commonality seems to be that the
error manifests itself more under load.  Trying a new kernel in this
case is probably a lot easier than trying to check for a network
issue (bad cable, bad switch port, etc.).

Good luck,
