Ah sorry, I thought you were showing the trace from your own raw socket program.

Well, to the best I know , same ACK seq happens when:
1. during 3 way handshake
2. retransmission, thus ack-ing same packet(s).

So, in normal tcp operations, usually (at least AFAIK) seq number
should grow higher during data communication

TTL (or any other flag that means "time out) is too low?

I see...that includes that HTTP session, where your tcp/ip stack acts
as the server or client?

This is something I can't answer right now.... probably because I am
not so keen about the whole jungle of TCP/IP
