Uh, you're asking it to wait forever to see a packet. I don't see a #define in there for BUFSIZ, so you might be asking it to catch zero bytes. And what is the "totally unrelsated message"? I'd try using pcap_loop() or friends so you can catch and examine more than a single packet. And don't forget to call pcap_close() at the end, I'm not sure how polite pcap is about leaving dangling bpf devices. -- Jon Simola Systems Administrator ABC Communications _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
