The TCP keepalived packet in the output above is invalid: it's sequence number is wrong.

Thanks for your reply Jozsef. After your reply I look at RFC 1122, It say:
"Some TCP implementations, however, have included a keep-alive mechanism. To confirm that an idle connection is still active, these implementations send a probe segment designed to elicit a response from the peer TCP. Such a segment generally contains SEG.SEQ = SND.NXT-1" ..."so that this SEG.SEQ will be outside the window. Therefore, the probe causes the receiver to return an acknowledgment segment"

When I try with a linux box sending TCP KA, I see that this sets the ACK flag on TCP KeepAlive and that works correctly. I think that my remote equipments (GPRS Modems) are making TCP KA is the wrong way. Or maybe the GPRS Service Provider are touching my packets.

Thanks Again.
