Hi. Despite the fact of being extremely hard to find information, I have found a glimmer of hope for us VB programmers that need to capture incoming packets at the network level. It's a library called "WinPCap" and it provides a DLL to abstract low level NIC calls. Unfortunately all of their documentation is assuming you are using C or C++. However, I was wondering if any of you think it would be possible to use this library from inside VB? Here is the link to the WinPCap site:
