This article provides explanations about this error message and when it might occur.

Information

When the destination SYN packet remains in SYN_SENT state, after reaching a certain timeout (more than 10 minutes), the above warning entry is being generated.

It means the packet is being sent but because of the local firewall changes, the SYN to the server is lost. Usually, firewall changes include WAN IP address modification. In this particular scenario, the DNS server is set to 192.168.51.1 and with the automatic IP address assignment (192.168.51.11 -> 192.168.51.10 and vice-versa).

You can monitor packet connections via the Active Connections menu. If you see packets stuck in the "floating" or unidentified state, you can Kill such a connection.
