<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello. I am working on a networking project and need some help on an issue I've been trying to resolve if you don't mind.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Is it possible to send a packet containing the MAC address of an Ethernet card already on the network, and receive back it's dynamically assigned IP address (e.g. created from DHCP)? I am trying to do this using VC++. Again, I already know the MAC address and just need to know the IP. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I want to avoid using RARP. I want this to be quick and simple. In fact, I believe this can be done at the packet level which is why I'm emailng you for assistance. I just need some confirmation, and perhaps a good code example. I have downloaded your WinPcap 3.1 Developer pack and would like to know if a possible example in the pack could illustrate this for me. Please let me know. I truly appreciate any help you can provide.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks,</FONT>
