Any tcp experts out there who can help me understand
I am trying to use a package called textpattern to set up a simple web site.
I am struggling because although my windows box with IE can see the formatting, both Firefox and Konqueror
on a linux box ignore it.
I put ethereal on the communications between the browser and the web server, which is generating the css file
via a php script.
What I see is some "TCP DUP ACK" messages, which seem to be saying that there is something wrong with the
communications. Since everything else works fine on my little area network this is suprising.
Googling around does not give me any clues as to what is going wrong. Can any experts tell from the attached
dump of the key comms why it may be doing this so that I can at least look more closely at it.
