Hi Juergen,

You haven't given us your ruleset. Are you using a REJECT rule, especially 
with TCP reset?

> IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=xxx.xxx.151.184 DST=xxx.xxx.11.231 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TT
> L=255 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=199 DPT=34869 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 ACK RST URGP=0

This looks like a completely standard TCP reset. I can't tell for sure 
without seeing your ruleset, but I suspect that either you are blocking 
the incoming packet with -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset, or else it's 
not being blocked at all, and what you see is the kernel resetting the 
connection in the normal way (since it's not listening on that port).

Cheers, Chris.
