Robert,
 
are you aware that it's legal for the ACK you are missing to contain data also? In this case the packets would look like this:
SYN ->
<- SYN/ACK
ACK+DATA(GET) ->
 
This is what I was trying to explain in my last mail...

It's not quite like that, I'm not explaining very well. I'll try again. :~)

If I send the GET command out, then my board does not send the ACK to
the server for the SYN, SYN ACK, ACK handshake. This is what happens.
Bear in mind the lwIP board is the client in this case.

Here are two different In both cases I do this in the lwIP client thread:

IP4_ADDR(&local_ip,emacIPADDR0,emacIPADDR1,emacIPADDR2,emacIPADDR3);
rc1 = netconn_bind ( xNetConn, &local_ip, 0 );
IP4_ADDR(&remote_ip,192,168,0,87);
rc2 = netconn_connect ( xNetConn, &remote_ip, 80 );

Scenario 1:

In this case I do not send a GET request out.

Client -> SYN (Server receives this)
Server -> SYN ACK (Client receives this)
Client -> ACK (Server receives this)

Scenario 2:

In this case I send the GET command out.

Client -> SYN (Server receives this)
Server -> SYN ACK (Client receives this)
Client -> GET Command

So, in scenario 2, the client is not sending out the ACK in the initial
handshake. I'm assuming it's because I need to wait for the lwIP stack
to send the ACK. I'm assuming anyway. If that is the case, how does my
thread know when the stack has sent the ACK to the server and I am at
liberty to send the GET request?

I hope I've made that clearer. :~)

I'm probably doing naive things because I'm trying to learn a lot of
stuff at the moment!
