[Winpcap-users] VC++ Networking Question

[Roshan Haridas]

Wincap Users,

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.

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.  

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.

Thanks,
