[Winpcap-users] problem with pcap_packetsend

[Horatio]

Gianluca Varenni,

I think you are right. Thank you very much.
I forgot the limit of Ethernet frame size......I'm such an idiot!

The computer in private network sends a frame with 1514bytes (sent by
MSN Messenger, a TCP segment of a reassembled PDU),
and then I add the PPPoE/PPP header. Now the frame is 1522bytes.

But the MSN Messenger on the computer which directly access Internet on
PPPoE, that frame is 1502bytes including PPPoE/PPP header.
MSN is so smart to detect it and adjust the frame size!? How did it do this?

How can I overcome this problem? This problem is solved if the computer
in private network never sends frame whose size is larger than, say 1506
or 1494.
