Does anyone know if it is possible to send and receive on raw socket using the MAC address in winxp/win2000? Is there an api I can use for the NIC?

Also, does anybody know some good sites i can use to find some more information on this subject?

thanks.

I think the protocol you want is LLC. That stands for Logical Link Control, and it sits right on top of the MAC driver, and talks MAC addresses rather than IP addresses.

I'm sorry but I couldn't find anything quickly on MSDN to help you out. Try this link and browse around for LLC, maybe you can find the API for MS's LLC driver. Google will help too.
