One might ask if it is the fault of vm or of > smtp.swox.se. The second line should have been smtp.swox.se.smtp SYN+ACK'ing the ISN of 27523124. vm is sending a RST to that because the sequence #'s don't match. It's also odd that the set of options being listed don't correspond at all...if you run the tcpdump for several minutes, can you track down other SYN requests which do correspond? Sometimes this kind of re-writing can happen if natd or PF is attempting to translate the packets, perhaps when they shouldn't if both sides of your router box are using routable IPs.... -- -Chuck
