Hi I need to send packets with a local IP address which is not one of my interface addresses. The "bind" call on the socket will fail if I try this. Is it possible at all? Does the kernel code need to be changed to not return an error on the "bind" in order to do this? Or is it not as simple as that? TIA Talmon - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
