    Re: Using npcap libs to save packet causes memory fault

    The in parameter requires a 16-bit number in TCP/IP network byte order. As the cast is from char* to u-short* the order of bytes ptrCurrent_Field[0] and ptrCurrent_Field[1] is important and isn't dealt with by ntoh().
    All advice is offered in good faith only. All my code is tested (unless stated explicitly otherwise) with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio (using the supported features of the latest standard) and is offered as examples only - not as production quality. I cannot offer advice regarding any other c/c++ compiler/IDE or incompatibilities with VS.

    Re: Using npcap libs to save packet causes memory fault

    shortTTL = ntohs(*((u_short*)ptrCurrent_Field));

    ...worked and it looks neater than the workaround I used. Thanks a lot to all who replied. It gives me a pointer (pun intended) for something to learn more about.
