Reading a raw ethernet frame

[loche255]

Im trying to implement a device that needs to comunicate to a pc via a standart UTP cable. I don't want to network it or anything, just use the high speed ethernet interface instead of the serial one because I need the bandwidth. Does LabWindows have some specific function that can capture a raw ethernet frame? If now any refrence to third party librarys would also be apreciated.

Hi loche255,

What protocol are you using to transfer the data?

Hi,
    I do not have experience with this, but I hope this help to find your way.
   
   1) For capture ethernet frame, check www.winpcap.org which is used by some of ethernet monitor programs.
      (I am not sure, if is posible to send RAW packet)
   2)or  maybe you can do experiment with Windows socket, with protokol set to  SOCK_RAW or IPPROTO_RAW.
