libpcap will read and write to the link layer. Please do something about 
your spelling.

   thank you glen. 
     I am using XP with intel machine .glen the thing is that i even dont
want 
     UDP also. cant i write few lines of code in any supportive s/w
language 
     which can read and write MAC packet over ethernet bcoz  my
application 
     is point 2 point connection.
     i just want to make it simple.

    also i am not very much familiar with TCP/IP. so can u suggest me the
S/W language and some gud tutorial for implementing TCP/IP if needed.

Look for libpcap at http://www.tcpdump.org/
With libpcap you can receive and send raw data from and to your
ethernet adapter.

For type X'0800' that will be hard on many systems.

If you don't need or want TCP, can you use UDP?  
It is a very simple header to add and then send it out.

Receivers can ignore the header, if that is easier, though
they should probably verify the IP address.

hi all ,
        My objective is to connect the XILINX S3A FPGA  Board with PC
using Ethernet .that is i want to send and receive data to/from  the  PC.
         and after that i have to control other h/w of the board by
sending data through ethernet as selected in GUI.
         

   but for this purpose i dont want to implement TCP/IP .i just simply
want to 
   send and receive MAC Packets i.e preamble+Destination Address+source
address
   +type+data+FCS

   i am using EDK and emaclite to implement the MAC.

 my questions are :
    1) how can i read and send the packets from PC .
    2) is any s/w available to do so.
    3) is there any s/w language which supports direct reading/writing of
MAC     port of PC (e.g we can read/write the com port)
    4) does any body has the code for the same.
