Title: What does the flag [FIN, PUSH, ACK] mean????

Hi!!
I have a problem with my network.
I have sniffed both sides of a device belonging to my network. I have found
that from one side,  i have an entire conversation (webmail message
downloading) that ends correctly, ACK, FIN-ACK, ACK, FIN-ACK.

The strange thing is that from other side, i have not such packets,
moreover, i have a packet with a flag [FIN, PUSH, ACK].

I dont know what does it mean, and maybe this is a clue of what is
happening.

Can anyone give me a hand, please???


Thanks in advance, regards.

Jorge
