Socket Programming

Hi All,

Iam using Vb6 .

How Can we send data to a layer 2 protocol.

i want to write the code for finding the PPPoe server on the local LAN.

for finding the server i must have to send a PPPoE Discovery packet which should contain the (Source MAc , Dest Broadcast Add , Protocol type )
only, i .e only the ethernet header . (i found this by using a packet capture tool on another program for finding PPPoE server)

How can i send the packet using vb.

You will have to do this using low level winsock API programming or a third party tool.

Try planetsourcecode.com for some examples.
