Pointer to function ....HELP!!!!

Hi:
I would not like to disturb with my E-Mail.
I send you this message because I don´t know how can I begin my development and perhaps you know any thing about this subject.
In advance thank for your help and patience.

I would like to develop an Ethernet Sniffer Analyzer and I need fundamentally the information after TCP/IP protocol.

1º) I think that I must to configure my Ethernet card in promiscuous mode. How can I make it?

2º) After configure Ethernet card I must to get the data across the net. How can I make it?
Which are the API functions that I must to use?

3º) For an easiest work, can I use WinSock.ocx for this purpose?
I believe that I can not work with Winsock.ock for this purpose because I need a previous connection but I am not sure....

Could you give me your E-Mail address? For me is better to send you my message by E-Mail I have problems with private message in Codeguru Web.

Thank you very much for your help. Bye...

This will not work, because AddressOf is an operator, not a function. According to my study guide (for VB6), you are correct: The AddressOf operator is provided only for use with APIs.

While it should be possible to copy the address to another variable (it is, after all, just a Long), my understanding is that VB provides no methodology for calling a function using it's address.
