   Which can be summarized like this: a SYN like this is ignored:   
      
      seq 3459677040, win 65535, options   
      [mss 1460,nop,wscale 3,nop,nop,TS val 792743561 ecr 0,sackOK,eol]   
      
   but when the client switches to this, a connection is made:   
      
      seq 3459677040, win 65535, options   
      [mss 1460,sackOK,eol]   
      
   No, I don't have the answer ... but it's easier for others to discuss   
   something they can see directly and quote.   
      
   What does netstat -s say?
