Hi all, Just started playing with winpcap, and first of all thanks for all the good work!
Now, even though I can capture data OK, I also need to send some raw ethernet frames. I use pcap_send_packet, but other than having my packet appear in my filter and WinDump (sometimes multiple times!), I don't believe it's ever sent on the wire. I also tried the sample TG.exe (which uses packet.dll directly), but it doesn't seem to be more successful. I'm running W2K SP2, and tried the operation both on a WLAN card (True Mobile 1150/Orinocco) and wired Ethernet card (Xircom RealPort 10/100). I'm compiling my bit of software under Cygwin in no-cygwin (mingw) mode, and use the TG.exe binary in the developer's package. When I say I don't think anything is sent, that means there are no LEDs blinking, no logs of traffic (on AP using the WLAN card)... Note also that I have a couple of VPN clients installed (Nokia VPN client and Cisco VPN 5000 client), but until now I've never seen any side effect of those, so I don't know if they might be to blame or not. So, questions: 1. is sending packets really supposed to work? I guess it should. 2. are there any known limitations (doesn't work on some OSes, some types of cards...)? 3. should I be able to send any Ethertype I want? 4. any hints as to why this doesn't work? Any information welcome! Thanks, Jacques. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
