    Hello?
    Using filters to block arbitary traffic is such a bad idea.
    
    If you know that what the src or dest ports and addresses are
    every time, then _maybe_, but let's hope you never want to send
    one of those packets yourself.....
    
    It's much simpler to use a separate IP address and just
    'proxy arp' (or route) the traffic to your box, then the host
    stack won't interfere with your 'connection'.
    
    Dom

    The RST is coming from your own stack, which is not aware of the
    connection your trying to build.  The easiest thing would probably to
    set up a firewall rule to drop RSTs to that box.  Using, for example,
    IPTables or IPChains if your on a Linux box.
