Perhaps the ARP code in the linux kernel would be useful if you are willing to get your hards dirty. ARP = Address Resolution Protocol, and is built into all (???) ethernet cards. Also look at the packet sniffer tcpdump as it decode ARP lookups and responses. (It should come with all good linux distros). Then there is the program FAKE, that can be made to spoof ARP replies. http://linux.zipworld.com.au/fake/ === Matty . http://members.xoom.com/mattpratt/ _--_|\ mattpratt@xxxxx.xxx / \ s3099239@xxxxxxx.xxx.xxx.xx \_.--._/<--Canberra, W2K - The other millenium bug. v Australia _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
