winsock "low level"

[Eduardo Jauch]

Can someone point to me a way to use ports to make TCP/IP transactions
more "low level" than using winsock?

I mean, There's a way to use directly the ports, without using winsock
or another high level object?

It's just curiosity.
"I1m not pretend using this on any "comercial software". Only learning
how it works [:)]

Thanks!

The only way is to access the network adapters directly, bypassing the
OS. You can't do that through the Win32 API. You can use third-party
drivers, such as WinPCap (http://www.winpcap.org) for that, though.
