If I cast it to a > struct sockaddr_in then s_addr is 0. Well it turns out that this was a combination of a bug in my code (*red face*) and something else. The something else I haven't quite worked out but it seems that if I don't read the packet with one read call then the packet is lost. Is this correct behaviour? I guess if the buffer is small and a number of packets (such as wehn an interface goes up or down) then it might happen but there shouldnt be that much time between read calls. I'll play with it a bit more tonight. Thanks, Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
