That's interesting. I couldn't get it to work at all at the lower size. Sorry, more specifically: I get "Unknown error at pingsniff.pl at line 132" (the recv call, for each call). When I upped the SIZE it started working. (didn't capitalize for emphasis, the constant is caps.) Hmm. Some kind of problem where the incoming packet is bigger than the maximum size anticipated. "Unknown error" is frustrating; doesn't tell enough about what happened. Well, thanks yet again for your help. | [reply] |
In case anyone's interested, I modified the code to increase the size until those Unknown Errors go away. It works at 10268. I suspect this is something to do with recv() function itself wanting to reassemble the original 10240 bytes of data, as opposed to simply receiving a 1500-byte packet.
