How to send frame address by MAC

[Jan Koprowski]

I need to send frames address by MAC address. I know that i can
translate IP to MAC address by RIP but in my program I must to write
MAC address, put this address to struct and send the simple frame to
this MAC address. How can I do that ?

By asking this question on a more appropriate newsgroup. Try a
newsgroup dedicated to TCP/IP networking.

The methods of sending raw frames are system specific, so the
tcp newsgroup is not the best place -- especially since the
OP wants to bypass the tcp layer. I would suggest that the OP
would be better visiting a newsgroup specific to the operating
system in use.

RIP doesn't translate IP to MAC: that function is ARP.

You are right, of course. My initial reply had the phrase "Ethernet or
TCP/IP" but I removed it for some reason.
