Search around on the web for pcap, libpcap, "packet capture" and stuff and you should find it. If not, find sniffit, the sniffit source code comes with the pcap library. However, I really doubt that this is all you need to do. Libpcap uses system specific routines to capture network packets. You would have to find a way to do this in windows NT, because I highly doubt that it uses any of the standard packet capture interfaces (IP raw sockets, SOCK_PACKET, or Berkeley packet filter). > Is it something I should forget or what ? > > Cheers /jerome > - > For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message > to > "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help". - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
