Let me give you another example: I'm trying to find orange juice.  

One might wonder:
In which supermarket?  In which city?  In what year?

want to say:  Any question / bug report / ... is totally useless if it
is not accompanied by a very detailed report on
- - which kernel version
- - which patches (from which version of patch-o-matic)
- - what ruleset (only rules related to the issue are important)
- - which loaded modules
- - any other information that might be necessarry.
- - a detailed description.  "trying to connect but doesn't work" does not
  count as detailed.

Also, please Cc' the netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailinglist, in case
somebody else has already found an answer to your problem.

this is not an error message, but rather a warning message.  Let me
guess, you have a w2k PPTP client?  This has a known bug to send packets
with bad checksums. This is definitely not the cause of any problem.

P.S.: Please don't take this too personally.  I just receive way too
many emails like this, and this is now a rant about all of them, hoping
that people on the list will pick it up.
