Problems with Davicom network chip under load.

Hi, I was just attempting to move an iso image between two 4.3-Release machines, the server being a PPro180 with i82559 and the client being a P3-933 with a Davicom network chip. FTP'ing an image from server to client resulted in the client aparrently losing the plot at layer 3 - a ping runnin

Hi, I'm trying to write a raw (SYN) packet with sendto. I've opened the socket with socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_RAW), the result is checked and it is unbound. A buffer and a sockaddr_in are formed then sent down the socket with sendto(sck,pBuffer,40,0,(struct sockaddr *)&sin,sizeof(sin))
