Hello,

 Could somebody please explain the  'iptables -A INPUT -eth0 -m 
state --state NEW -j DROP' a bit more for me ?  I understand that it won't 
allow any outside initiated inbound connections into a network. However 
occasionally if I'm doing a tcpdump we see things like:

21:04:48.935367 IP 82.29.180.221.15378 > 213.17.40.204.4154: R 0:0(0) ack 1 
win 0

21:04:48.936153 IP 82.29.180.221.15378 > 213.17.40.204.4154: R 0:0(0) ack 1 
win 0

What is that and shouldn't it be dropped ? Or is the : R 0:0(0) ack 1 win 0 
part of it a already establish connection ? Although that's one of our IP's 
it's not active on our network.

Any ideas / advice  would be greatly appreciated !

Regards

Sylvan
