Hi all, I'm writing a simple application where the PC capture packets from an ethernet interface and echoes the same packet back on the same interface. The application is meant to test the network interface of an embedded device and the device will be directly connected via crossover cable to the PC.
I'm finding out that the frame the PC echoes out the interface is being input again on the receive side, causing problems with infinite loops of the same packet being captured and transmitted. I saw a couple of emails in this mailing list archive and there was mention of a possible API to prevent this "loopback" mode. I'm wondering if winpcap 3.0 ( or winpcap 3.1 beta) has this API. I'm using Winpcap 3.0 developer pack on a Windows XP SP1 PC with VC++ 6.0 tools I would appreciate any tips or suggestions for solving this problem. Thanks !
