Hello,

I am writing a simple program that generates a raw packet via the winsock api. The specific nature of this application requires that the Type field of the Ethernet header be set to a specific value (not IP). Basically, I want to send out a packet that is not an IP packet via winsock. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me (a) if this is possible via winsock api, and if so, (b) how to do it.
Thanks.
