TCP - RST packet

[moshe]

hi ,

I'm writing a small http proxey server - on my fedora core 3 based machine.
but as i send a tcp SYN packet to my server ,it replies with a SYN,ACK packet - along with another RST,ACK packet.
i don't know where did it came from - i turned off all other server aplications.
and by running "fuser" and "netstat" i saw that no program is listening to port 80.

please help me to cancel this RST messeges!
thanx

With so little and in accurate information, nobody can help you.

I AM useing ethereal, but it doesn't tell the source of the packet - what thread or process.
