I've done nearly all that you suggested. I've checked the datalink protocol and
its ethernet. I'm reading the IP total length and TCP data offset fields to
find out where the payload is.
The reason I don't check the output in the C program is that stdout is
eventually redirected to a Java program that filters out the text characters.
The program worked fine under Linux, but in FreeBSD... so many packets are
being dropped by the kernel so I can't read the complete NNTP conversation.
Wait.
So there's one problem, the non-printable characters.
Is the packet dropping a separate problem?
If so, then:
1) are you still having the problem with the non-printable characters? If so, we'd probably have to see your code to see what you're doing wrong.
2) what indicates that packets are being dropped?
