The subject says it all. It is a very basic rule, just for testing. Below is the rule: alert tcp 23.45.130.209 any -> 12.23.8.155 80 (msg:"Test Commection Reset"; resp: rst_all; sid:1001001; rev:1;) Notice below that the reset response is happening on tcp port 28, and the web page still displays. Any Ideas?? Thanks!
