Ndis Driver problem

hello,
i am writting a network driver,and facing problem in ICMP resolve.
can anybody tell me how to form a proper packet in receive path.?
it is a miniport - ndis driver.

first i am creating a packet,
NdisAllocateBuffer();
NdisAllocatePacket();
I copied the ICMP packet of 98 bytes,,
then set the status of the packet to NDIS_SET_PACKET_STATUS(
packet,,_SUCCESS)
then attached the packet at front,
and then send it to upper layer ,,,
NdisMIndicateReceive();

Am i missing something? if yes then tell me how to resolve it,?

thanks,,

*What* is your problem in detail?

Sounds like you forgot to add the MAC header, maybe?

Run a network sniffer like Wireshark (aka Ethereal) and see how your
indicated receive frames look like there.

Hello Stephen,
Thanks for reply.

Here is the problem.
I have one machine which is working, and tested "ping" with the other
machine.

now the driver which i have, is running on a windows xp machine.

Ethereal is also running on windows machine.
whenever i am trying to ping ,,,
there are two kind of situation occure.

case1:
ping from my machine.

my machine other m/c

ARP req------------------>
<-------------------- ARP reply.
ICMP request-------------->
<------------------ICMP reply. (message in Ethereal "Echo
ping reply").
i am able to see this in Ethereal in my m/c.

case 2:
Ping from other machine.
My M/c other m/c

<-------------ARP request
ARP reply ------------------>
<---------------ICMP request (message in Ethereal
"Echo ping request").
after this there is no ICMP reply,,,,,,,,,,

my code is like this,

NdisAllocateBuffer(&Status,&Buffer,Adapter->BufferPoolHandle,(PVOID)(VirtAddr),Adapter->RxDataLen);

if(Status != NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS)
{
PRIN(("In Recv packets: buffer allocation failed\n"));
goto Dots_Recv_Buff_Error;
}

Status = NDIS_GET_PACKET_STATUS(Packet);
if(Status != NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS)
{
PRIN(("Packet is busy and not free"));
goto Dots_Recv_Pack_Error;
}

NdisChainBufferAtBack(Packet,Buffer);
NDIS_SET_PACKET_STATUS(Packet,NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS);

NdisMIndicateReceivePacket(Adapter->MiniportAdapterHandle,&Packet,1);


and the data i am copying is full packet,, 14(eth header)+type+other ,,

if i have missed something then please revert back,,
thanks again for help,,
