Some clarification. 1. WinPcap (Windows), libpcap(Unix) have nothing to do with sending packets. cap - as in capture. 2. Windows does have an API to create and send raw packets.
And on another note. If you would like to look into a cross platform library for creating and sending packets, check out libnet http://libnet.sourceforge.net/ Rob > Thanks, > > This sounds like what I need.
