"Bad Address" error using recvfrom in cygwin

Hi,

I get a "Bad address" error message when trying to receive an ICMP timestamp
packet using recvfrom in cygwin. The packet is OK as I see it arriving when
sniffing the network.

Any ideas what can be wrong?

Thanks,

Jan

not post a short snippet showing how you're calling the function? Or,
double-check that the buffer and from address really exist somewhere in
memory, and that you've passed their sizes correctly.

Or a pointer that isn't aligned properly, perhaps ?

Agreed.

you posted to the wrong news group. recvfrom() is not a standard C
function
(that is is it does not appear in the C standard). Please repost in a
group
wher eit is more relevent. maybe a unix group or a cygwin group (the
answers
will be better as well).
