Hello Andrew,
When filling your struct ip *iphead, try replacing:
iphead->ip_len = htons(length);
with:
iphead->ip_len = length;
or, for portability reasons, you may want to do something like:
#ifdef LINUX || OpenBSD21
#define BO(x) htons(x)
#else
#define BO(x) (x)
#endif
And, when filling the ip packet length, do a: iphead->ip_len = BO(length);
This is a byte-order issue that has often caused confusion for Linux
people...
/usr/include/machine/endian.h provides some insight...
