He says: Everytime I open a raw socket connection ( send FIN to expect RST or something like that ). The socket is killed. He concluded that the router he is going through is dropping the packets some how on their way out or the connection is being killed on the way back in. He says there is a third possibility that the kernel actually discards the packets. Said he found it in a man page some where? Any one can she light on what may be going wrong here? -- ************* You need only 2 tools: WD-40 and Duct tape. If its supposed to move and it dosen't, use WD-40, If it moves and it not supposed to, use the tape.
