Hi,

When I try to open a raw socket on a pocket PC I get the following error
code from the failed call to socket():

WSAESOCKTNOSUPPORT (10044)
•Translation: Socket type not supported.
•Description: The support for the specified socket type does not exist in
this address family. For example, the SOCK_RAW optional type may be selected
in a socket (Wsapiref_2qr6.asp) call but the implementation does not support
SOCK_RAW sockets at all.

The code I use to open the socket is:

rawSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMP);

The error code suggests that raw sockets are not implemented on CE (Pocket
PC 4.20) ? Can someone confirm this? I have some code that performs an ICMP
ping and I would like to run it on CE, but it appears as if this will not be
possible.

Thanks,

Tom.
