How do we get data from ethernet

[gnanapoongothai]

Hi
I am into the project of processing data from ethernet cards at a fast rate and send the process data out. Byt i am struck with abt details of hoe to access the data from ethernet. i know NIC cards are there and you have connector. When programming in c in vc++ what port u use and some explanation abt how to get the data. Awaiting a reply from u all soon to clarify my query.

I would recommend googling/researching socket programming. That should get you started on transfers and ports/sockets.
