Dear friends,

I need to develop a packet sniffer program. For this purpose i need to place my adapter in "promicious mode".

Can you tell me how can i programitically place the adapter in "promicious mode". ?? I don't understand by what you mean by "promicious mode". But if you want to build a sniffer program this (http://www.dev-archive.com/Cpp/I-N/network/tcpip/article.php/c5413) link may help. In addition look at other threads that discuss the same in this forum.
