Hi!

I just wanted to know if it'is possible to send data through a fast-ethernet network without using the winsock API. Without using the tcp/ip protocols...

Thanks for any help :)
 
Nobody answered this? Wow! Just use the MSINET.OCX, easy to use for FTP transfers. Located in sys32 for NT and sys for 95/98. Just add as reference for your project!
 
>> Just use the MSINET.OCX

Doesn't MSINET just encapsulate some internet protocols and their underlying socket implementations?

>> Without using the tcp/ip protocols

Or is that what you meant? Today most ethernet coms are using IP. What's your aversion based on?

Hi guys!

Well, this project was for the school:
I had to transmit sound via Fast-Ethernet and avoid TCP/IP because it had to be really fast. I found the way to transmit data with MAC adresses : I used QNX (real time ) and wrote my own drivers in C.

Thanks for the answer, too bad you didn't see my message before ;)

(sorry for my English)
