    a program for Ethernet

    Hello.
    sorry if you see this message 2 times,I didn't know which baord is suit for my question .
    I have to write a program that will be run on PCs which are connected to UDP/IP ethernet .
    this program should
    1-get the packet and shows data of it and also
    2-should get the DEST address and data from the user , makes the apcket and sends it to ethernet .
    some one told me I can do it with Visual C and some another one told :"use C# " and also one of my friends said :"just use Delphi .net ".
    which of them are better for doing that and also easier to learn - (I know C++) - ?
    cause I have just a little time (about 2 weeks)
    is there any program that has ready component for sending and recivieving UDP/IP packets ?

    Thank you

    Make a guess and post it once - if you're wrong, a mod will move it.
    As it is, you simply cause more work for mods - your other post has gone.

    Yeah, now you have 3 answers and you're still stuck.
    Since you know some c++, use that.
    Start by reading the intro thread in this forum.

    Plenty of time to read beej and try some examples.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    You did not specify if you want to read all UDP packets received by the PC or just those received on some specific ports. In first case you need to use RAW sockets while in second case you need to use simple UDP sockets.

    I think she wants to read the DEST address of the datalink layer, the MAC address;
