Hi, One more query .. I am using raw data send in a program. All I am doing is receiving data on a particular port, manipulating the packet by a raw receiving module, and trying to retransmit the packet to the interface, so that the data can be accessed by a different port, as manipulated by the raw receiver. But, I find sending via a raw socket using SOCK_DGRAM not possible. Do I need to bind my socket before sending via raw sockets ? Can someone please refer me to some good examples on sending data via raw sockets. Thanks a lot, Vasu. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
