Hello
How does one send an packet to someone, but have the source IP of the
packet be of a different computer on the network? I know you can use
bind() to bind a different IP address to the packet that one sends.
Does bind act on the TCP level or on the IP level? Both IP and TCP have
a section reserved for the source address, so do both IP source
addresses get set to the address called in bind()?
Secondly, if this works, are there any networks that don't allow two
computers to send packets with the same source IP, but only one computer
is receiving packets on that IP?

A physicist, an engineer, and a computer
scientist were discussing the nature of
God. Surely a Physicist, said the physicist,
because early in the Creation, God made
Light; and you know, Maxwell's equations,
the dual nature of electro-magnetic waves,
the relativist consequences... An Engineer!,
said the engineer, because before making
Light, God split the Chaos into Land and
Water; it takes a hell of an engineer to
handle that big amount of mud, and orderly
separation of solids from liquids... The
computer scientist shouted: And the Chaos,
where do you think it was coming from, hmm?
