In the NAT application, I only relay ICMP( ping ) packets
The NAT has 2 interface, one is ethernet connecting local network
, the other is PPP for internet.

It can get the packets from the client,
adn when the NAT replace the dest ip address, re-calc the checksum, and
send to MSTCP stack. We never get the response, NO data received
from the PPP adapter. Is there any problem with my code?

Another ques: when I call SendPacketToMstcp(), should I also get this packet
at PACKET_FLAG_ON_SEND at the other adapter when MSTCP send it to interface?
I tried, but not get the packet.

Below is my code.

….
// set MODE to MSTCP_FLAG_SENT_TUNNEL|MSTCP_FLAG_RECV_TUNNEL to all adapters
….
while (!bAppClose)
{
dwRe=WaitForMultipleObjects(nCount, arrEvents, FALSE , 1000);
if( ( dwRe < WAIT_OBJECT_0 )|| ( dwRe > WAIT_OBJECT_0+nCount-1) )
continue ;

hEvent=arrEvents[dwRe-WAIT_OBJECT_0];
ResetEvent(hEvent);

/// find associated Adapter
if ( !mapAdapter.Lookup( hEvent, adp ))
continue ;

ZeroMemory ( &Request, sizeof(ETH_REQUEST) );
ZeroMemory ( &PacketBuffer, sizeof(INTERMEDIATE_BUFFER) );

Request.EthPacket.Buffer = &PacketBuffer;
Request.hAdapterHandle = (HANDLE)adp.hAdpHandle;

while(api.ReadPacket(&Request))
{
/// read data
if (PacketBuffer.m_dwDeviceFlags == PACKET_FLAG_ON_SEND)
{
api.SendPacketToAdapter(&Request);
}
else
{
pEthHeader = (ether_header*)PacketBuffer.m_IBuffer;
if(ntohs(pEthHeader->h_proto) == ETH_P_IP)
{
pIpHeader=(iphdr*)(PacketBuffer.m_IBuffer +14 );

//// substitute the source ip with nat address
pIpHeader->ip_src=natAddr;
pIpHeader->ip_sum=0;
/// calac the checksum
pIpHeader->ip_sum=ip_checksum((unsigned char*)pIpHeader, 20 );
}
// send packet to MSTCP
api.SendPacketToMstcp(&Request);
}
}

}

In order to analyze your code I would also need to analyze the environment it runs in. However, check if you have enable IP routing (forwarding) since it is disabled by the default and TCP/IP will just drop the packets from the interface if they don’t match interface address information.

Another ques: when I call SendPacketToMstcp(), should I also get this packet at PACKET_FLAG_ON_SEND at the other adapter when MSTCP send it to interface? I tried, but not get the packet.

No, this flag has informational purpose only (for you reference if packet was received from the network or from the stack).

It’s XP. For the PPP, I use RasPPPoE.

Enable IP routing? Do you mean set
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParameters
IPEnableRouter to 1.

Oh, I did it.

And test again, still no response!!

Do you need to see the whole code?

[hoowaycn]

I run a sniffer to monitor the packets
and find that MSTCP doest not send out my nat packets.
What’s reason cause it to drop the packets?

Can someone send a NAT sample, so I can whether it computer
configuration problem or my nat problem.

Can anyone help me to solve this problem?If I solve this problem in my evaluation, I would purchase one.
