I agree with Florian - the problem is clearly your end. You should be
sending ACK after the SYN/ACK from google, not an RST. I would have through
that the OS would perform the TCP setup tho, not the browser itself.
Checking with different software is worthwhile to verify whether that is
true or not. You could also try 'lynx www.google.com' instead of the echo/nc
thing.

Also if you want us to look at the capture, send it in pcap (binary) format
so we can see all the detail.
