Frames problems

I'm using ethereal to analyse my network from my pc.

There're too many TCP Bad checksum
1. between my PC and unix servers (checksum: 0x6660 [incorrect, should be 0xa6e2])
2. between my PC and other servers (windows, novell) checksum: 0x6644 [incorrect, should be 0xf50a])

There're too many NBNS and BOOTP/DHCP Malformed Packet(Exception occured)
1. multicast (224.0.0.2) from switch [Illegal NetBIOS name]
2. multicast (224.0.0.2) from switch [BOOTP Unknown BOOTP message type (0)Malformed Packet]

1. Are these problems "acceptable" or not?
2. How to find if these problems come from my pc or from net?
3. Are there a software problem (Application layer) or a TCP/IP stack problems, how to find them?
4. In which ways should I analyse to find solution?

LO(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						     LO(4)

NAME
lo -- software loopback network interface SYNOPSIS
device loop DESCRIPTION
The loop interface is a software loopback mechanism which may be used for performance analysis, software testing, and/or local communication. As with other network interfaces, the loopback interface must have network addresses assigned for each address family with which it is to be used. These addresses may be set or changed with the SIOCSIFADDR ioctl(2). The loopback interface should be the last interface configured, as protocols may use the order of configuration as an indication of priority. The loopback should never be configured first unless no hard- ware interfaces exist. If the transmit checksum offload capability flag is enabled on a loopback interface, checksums will not be generated by IP, UDP, or TCP for packets sent on the interface. If the receive checksum offload capability flag is enabled on a loopback interface, checksums will not be validated by IP, UDP, or TCP for packets received on the interface. By default, both receive and transmit checksum flags will be enabled, in order to avoid the overhead of checksumming for local communication where data corruption is unlikely. If transmit checksum generation is disabled, then validation should also be disabled in order to avoid packets being dropped due to invalid checksums. DIAGNOSTICS
lo%d: can't handle af%d. The interface was handed a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address family; the packet was dropped. SEE ALSO
inet(4), intro(4) HISTORY
The lo device appeared in 4.2BSD. The current checksum generation and validation avoidance policy appeared in FreeBSD 8.0. BSD
