I agree completely with you. Question: What are the files or BeOS network related objects which we have to emulate or replace in order to run our own version of the Net_Server in BeOS ? I see those: - Preference App - Net_Server (which must have Layer 4: TCP/UDP, LAYER 3: IP, ICMP, ARP LAYER 2: ethernet (eth-II, 802.3-native, 802.3-snap) - User API (libnet.so) - DHCP component - PPP component -Drivers (even if we could use Native BeOS drivers at first) Do you see others ? I'm I wrong on some point ? Emmanuel
