Hi all,
I'm writing a program which I would like to be able to use ICMP protocol to send a message to the server version of the program. I know that in Windows XP and a few other versions raw sockets are supported, but how would I go about loading a socket that is of the "raw" type in VB6? I know there's an API function to load winsock, but I'm not sure if it works the same for raw sockets...
First question is why do you need to use the raw sockets of 2k/XP and second is if you find out how I would also like to know.
Well, like I said, I'd like to be able to experiment with other protocols that Winsock doesn't support normally... Anyone care to share? Or if you'd rather, you could email me...... thx
/me is interesed too...
Can't be done via VB. At least I've never found any code that does, and believe me, I've looked.
If you look into C or C++ however, its a bit easier...
Actually, anything that can be done with an API in C/++ can absolutely be done in VB.
I've been doing a little more research in the vb winsock api, and i think i'll figure it out soon enough...
Please, let me know if you do...
