Win-7 TCP sends [RST/ACK] after ~90 sec of traffic all the time. Repeatable 100% on multiple Win-7 PC's.
Same TCP App on Win-XP works just fine. TCP socket in both cases connected to Linux Ubuntu machine.
Any suggestions how to debug TCP layer ?

Cheers kes

 
Wireshark on PC in promiscuous mode (although if the TCP stream is destined for that PC (IP Stack) then non-promiscuous mode is okay.
 
That's excatly what I did and I did see RST/ACK was send by TCP client. Question why ?! k

What does the TCP layer in the trace tell you? Also the IP layer?
 
The app is TELNET, trace tells that TCP send socket reset on Win-7 side. The FIN was not set from other end. Nothing special or abnormal. k
 
Yes, I understand what you have written in the trace above, what I meant was when you highlight the packet in Wireshark, there is a section beneath that can be broken down into Layer 2, 3 and 4.... when you examine the TCP layer in that section, what does it say with regards to the RST / ACK packet?
 
Few frames before RST, k
