Hello (tcpdump-workers || Guy ;-} )
I wasnt intending to send the mail to just you. I know its a mailing list.
The reality is tho, that your respond to 99.99% of all the questions, so I
used your name directly. It was not intended to upset anyone.
I know I didnt place the code in the last email. I was hoping that what I
did was
a common error that you may have seen before, thats all. Anyway I fixed it.
Your help is always appreciated.
Enjoy you vacation. Joe.

"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" isn't an alias for me; it's a mailing list
with many members - and that is a good thing, as it means that I don't
have every single person having problems with tcpdump or libpcap
expecting me to solve their problems, that being something for which I
don't have time or expertise. Instead, others who might have more time
or expertise also see the questions, and might answer them.

Well, I can't see that, either, as I don't have the code to your
program. Try making the program that doesn't work do what the programs
that do work are doing, or what tcpdump is doing.
(Note that I will be out of town for a couple of weeks, so I probably
won't be able to answer questions about the code during that period of
time.)
