Ethereal

arunachalam · 11-07-2005, 11:15 AM

Hi,
The problem I face is,

The ethereal tool in the sender (TCP packet) shows different flow of message & ethereal in receiver shows different flow (SYN, ACK packet values) for the same message exchanged.

How's this possible?

Is this the right place to ask this question? Please Guide me on this.

Regards,
Arunachalam.

You haven't really given us much information, but off the top of my head - are you going through a proxy server? Are you using NAT? If not is it possible that the message you are looking at has been sent several times and you are trying to match different sections of the trace? Is there any IPSec tunnels in the path as one IPSec security trick is segment number scrambling.

Does the segment numbering at on end match up for Send and Receive segments?

Hi,
Thank u for the above reply.
Actually I am doing in the same network of ethernet(two consecutive IPs).
The problem I faced is rectified. The thing is because of Duplicate ACKs.I'll get back here with some more explanation.
