Hello,

I'm wondering if it is possible to indicate an IP packet with src
address of 127.0.0.1 from within an NDIS IM driver and have it
delivered all the way into userland.

I'm tempted to believe that the higher layers will drop the packet
since they aren't expecting localhost traffic from a physical network.
Any way around that?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric

I don't think that NDIS gets involved in local host traffic. If you give it
a try, let us know what happens.
