I've written a linux app using IP packet with custom protocol (i.e. not udp=
, not tcp, etc) using SOCK_RAW socket. I can compile app in cygwin and it o=
pens sockets and reads and writes without any errors but wireshark shows no=
 data traversing the interface (not even local loopback).  Is it possible t=
o use a SOCK_RAW in cygwin for read and write of IP packets? I've seen some=
 prior discussion about raw sockets and proper admin privileges - I am admi=
n of this machine so I should be able to set privileges as required.
