Probably a dumb question, but you said you recalculated the IP checksum; did you also recalculated the TCP checksum, and did you do it first, before the IP checksum?


Also, are you handling the source port redirect in the outbound SYN/ACK? Maybe that's what's getting lost.

If I were doing this, I'd be doing two machine debugging of the NKE, possibly even building my own kernel so I could add additional instrumentation to see where things are failing.

I am doing two machine debugging. I've been debugging into the stack.

I'm starting to think that it's not what I thought it was. Debugging through the stack things sometimes just, well, stop working. Maybe because I'm using an Ethernet cable for the debugging... It looks like the packet is getting farther than I thought, and the problem may lay somewhere else. The debugging breakdowns in the stack were making it look more complicated than it was--Heisenberg strikes again :-)

Thanks for the various suggestions.

Maybe using FirewireKDP will help with the problems debugging through the network stack if I need to do that again.
