According to the Resolution 14805 of Nokia, The firewall receives a new 
connections with the same port/service as a connection that was recently 
closed. (and because that is still in session table of the firewall, firewall 
drops this session), the solution of it (again it is in the resolution) is 
decrease the tcpendtimeout so that the firewall clears up the session table 
faster...

Hello,

it is not a matter of speed or lack of it, so increasing the timeout
won't fix it. According to the message you get on your log, you have an
already established connection (the 3-way handshake for that session has
been completed). Your firewall intercepts a packet of that session that
has SYN flag enabled and drops it. Packets with the SYN flag enabled are
used only during the initialisation of the TCP session and never during
an already established session. You should check why these packets
appear in the first place. It shouldn't be the firewall's fault.
