Hi Giovanni,

10.31.11.31 always sends relative TCP ACK 1 because 10.31.11.219 never
sends any application layer data.  10.31.11.31 is always waiting for
10.31.11.219 to send its first byte of application layer data, but
that never happens.  10.31.11.31 is the system that sends all the data
in your conversation (23,109 bytes).

The incorrect TCP checksum 0x2b52 could be added by the NIC as
indicated by Wireshark's message (TCP Checksum offload?" or it could
be hardcoded by the app on 10.31.11.219.  Where did you perform the
capture?

Why do you think "the system isn't able to recover from such a
problem"?  I see the missing bytes of data are retransmitted such that
10.31.11.219 ACKs 49281 before 10.31.11.219 tears down the connection
with a RST ACK.

Sincerely,

Richard

Hello Giovanni

> From http://wiki.wireshark.org/TCP_Relative_Sequence_Numbers

'By default Wireshark and TShark will keep track of all TCP sessions and
convert all Sequence Numbers (SEQ numbers) and Acknowledge Numbers (ACK
Numbers) into relative numbers. '

Since you are using a crossover cable, it's very unlikely you have a network
problem. That leaves OS, driver or application issues. If other apps don't
have any network problems, your application is probably at fault here

Good luck, and let us know what you find!

Hello    everybody,
first thanks a lot everybody.
Dear Richard you are right 219 never sends app data, I misunderstood the way ack works.
For the checksum it is fine I thinks it's something related to my NIC since any TCP message has this "bug", so I 
locally disabled the check on my Wireshark.
You are right the missing packet is retransmit by the 31 system and 219 acks it, I have to improve my knowlege of 
Wireshark (it was Sunday, please be patient :-D).
I will search for application level "bugs".
Thanks a lot for your help
Giovanni
