Hello all, How to change the MAC address in FreeBSD??? When I am creating socket, how FreeBSD knows which network interface to use??? How works network sniffers and how to protect myself from them??? How works ARP on low level??? I don't understand this because I know that it is not using TCP/IP... , but how then data frames arrives to the host knowing only it MAC address and more it can be changed??? Is the hosts on LAN know MAC addresses to which they are connected??? Or just frames are sent to all hosts on LAN and who's MAC is the same as in frame, answers ??? In a word please give me some links on documetns about those things... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
