Delphi Magazine published an article explaining how to use raw sockets in January 2004, issue 101, "Hands on TCP/IP programming in Delphi" by Alfred Mirzagitov? The demo projects discussed in the article are at: http://www.thedelphimagazine.com/disks/dmag101.zip one of which allows raw packets to be created using a GUI, exactly what you are trying to do. I used some of the information from that article to implement a raw socket monitoring component using ICS, which is available from: http://www.magsys.co.uk/download/software/monsock1.zip My component is only interested in receiving raw packets, not sending them, but you'll be able to take information from the DM article to create your packets, all the structures and literals you need are in my component. As I said before, raw sockets needs administrator security level now, so you may need to use the WinPcap system drivers instead, but my components have all you need to do this as well.
