Title: Message

Hellow everyone

I am having a problem with libpcap. I am using libpcap .8.3
I am writing some software that forks multiple process on a unix macine(IRIX) however when i have each child start the pcap_loop when i get to the 4th child and beyond i get the following error

pcap_open_live snoop bind: Cant assign requested address

However if i comment out the pcap_loop line the i dont get that error.

I am opening the device (ef0) using promiscous mode if that helps

Any help would be great.

Thanks
jason
