Thanks GV,
Since I develop software for other environments also I'd like to know
whether your answer applies also to other kinds such as cables, isdn and
other environments. Is it correct to say that its always (or almost always)
possible to retrieve the Ethernet packets?
Thanks again
I. Lesher
Do you mean something like a DSL modem connected to your computer via
ethernet?
If so, you can definitely capture the packets there, but the packets are
not
encapsulated in the "classic" ethernet->IP->tcp/udp fashion. It's usually
something like ethernet->PPPoE->PPP->IP (or something similar to this that
I
cannot remember now) so you might need to modify your dissection code
accordingly.
Have a nice day
GV
Thanks for any help
I. Lesher
