I am working on a bug in our app running on system 8.5 (happens to be on
a 7500 w/ G3 upgrade). Our app uses raw Ethernet connections to
communicate to a modem. On other systems this seems to work just fine.
On system 8.5, we can put packets on the wire but incoming packets are
not being received. This is only the case when TCP/IP has not been
initialized. Usually this means that TCP/IP is set to use DHCP and no one
has opened a TCP/IP port.
Our code scans for all Ethernet ports, so I dont want to be dependent on
TCP/IP. Is there a magic incantation that I am missing to get the
Ethernet driver to listen to packets?
Thanks for any tips or suggestions,
...Duane
