huh?
the first byte of an IP packet is not the length.. the first byte you 
see on a
packet trace will be the 4 bit version followed by a 4 bit  HEADER length,
followed by 8 bits of TOS (type of Service) and 16 bits of total packet 
length.

you need to change the 16 bit value..
(it's in big-endian format.. beware)
