WinPCap is not "raw sockets". The term "sockets" refers to the BSD Sockets programming API, or related ones like Winsock. WinPCap is a completely different API.

Just don't confuse people by saying you're using "raw sockets". -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
