ssh checksum error

[lists at prwdot.org (Peter R. Wood)]

Greetings all,

I have been using an ssh tunnel for a while now to connect from my windows
box at work to my linux box at home.  Just recently (in the last month or
so), this connection has been terminating frequently, with an error message
like, "Decrypting Packet: received/computed checksum error."  I'm using
SecureCRT 3.4 on Windows, and OpenSSH 2.9p1 on the Linux side.  I haven't
done a whole lot as far as diagnosis, since I'm not sure quite where to
start, but I can say with certainty that I have other ssh connections open
to other hosts, and they are not generating this type of error.

Could this be indicative of someone snooping my line, or possibly a hardware
problem, or maybe I need to upgrade my SSH server?

Thanks,

Peter
