if it's sending back a RST ACK that means the port is closed on your
workstation, and that's all the server wanted to know... since from
your earlier log didn't mention anything about resets being sent back to
lugnet, I just assumed it was dropping and packets... absorbing them
instead of rejecting...
anyway, glad it works for ya :)
