The "netstat -s" command can be used to view various TCP/IP protocol
statistics.
Windows NT systems that are running on a TCP/IP network with more than one
logical subnet per physical network may display a large number of IP
Received Header Errors, as shown below:
IP Statistics
Packets Received = 84167
Received Header Errors = 10395 <-------
Received Address Errors = 94
Datagrams Forwarded = 0
Unknown Protocols Received = 0
Received Packets Discarded = 0
Received Packets Delivered = 73678
Output Requests = 2016
Routing Discards = 0
Discarded Output Packets = 0
Output Packet No Route = 0
Reassembly Required = 0
Reassembly Successful = 0
Reassembly Failures = 0
Datagrams Successfully Fragmented = 0
Datagrams Failing Fragmentation = 0
Fragments Created = 0
MORE INFORMATION
================
When an IP datagram is received as a broadcast at the link level, it is passed
up to IP to process. IP performs a check to see if the datagram is a valid IP
broadcast for a subnet that the computer is configured on. If the datagram is
not a valid subnet broadcast, it is discarded, and the "IP Received Header
Errors" count is incremented.
This is a harmless error, but a request has been logged to eliminate this
behavior in future versions of Windows NT.
