Hi,

   I seem to have a very peculiar problem with the libpcap library. I am 
using the pcap_loop function to capture any packets with a specific 
condition set and return to my program. I am using the "any" device. Once I 
receive packets, I forward them to another machine on a UDP socket. The 
problem I am having is that when I send the packet out the UDP socket, I 
think the pcap_loop function is again capturing the packet and returning coz 
it satisfies the condition. This way I get copies of all packets which I try 
to send out. I, in turn, send these packets out only to be captured again 
and returned. This goes into an infinite loop until some error occurs and my 
program exits. How do I go about solving this? any ideas will be greatly 
appreciated. I hope I have made myself clear. Thanks.

moni.
