Insufficient details.  Please post a more complete fragment that in 
particular shows how did you allocate the DOS buffer and how exactly 
was ulPacketBufferSeg computed.  ``Segment number'' doesn't explain 
enough to guess what might have gone wrong.

You might also benefit from reading section 18.5 of the latest version 
2.11 of the DJGPP FAQ list, which lists some gotchas in code that calls 
real-mode services from DJGPP programs.
