Vic,
Thanks for the points you raised. I do know that TCP is a protocol :-) . It involved handshaking and it is not done correctly one end says go away and blocks any further requests in that sequence.
The routing table has no fixed routes. The IP is configured by DHCP with an entry in the DHCP table that reserved 192.168.1.3 for this system.
the output from arp -a is
? (192.168.0.254) t 00:0F:B5:A2:14:C8 [ether] on ether1
www.routerlogin.com (192.168.1.1) at 00:18:4D:0C:81:A4 [ether] on eth0
? (192.168.1.2) at 00:0F:B5:A2:14:C9 [ether] on eth0
eth0 is the wired lan connection to the router.
eth1 is the wireless lan connection to my WLAN router on the 192.168.0.x subnet
