Hi,

It is a bit unclear (your issue) but to me you are not getting a 3-way handshake. I don't think ping or ICMP are the applications that are required for another app to work.

I only can see SYN and TCP retransmit packets. You are correct traffic is passing but is it reaching the destination or is destination able to replying back?
