hi, I am freebsd user, i want to know: 1. I would like to understand network byte ordering concepts. I know some machines are "little endian" and "big endian", and tcpip provides a standard called network ordering throught htonl, htons,etc fuctions. I want to know How does look like bigendians and network byte ordering?, how can i know if i am in a little or bigendian host? 2. I am student of computer science, but at my university noone use freebsd or code bsd socket, so, i am doing this by my own, but it's hard, i read commer book about tcpip, but, i dont understand the concepts, i have printed almost all freebsd man related to sockets. I would like to know what way did you guy follow to understand tpcip understand unix?, i dont have money to buy a book at amazon, but, is that the only way? can't i understand unix tcpip programming with free resources? thanks ppl! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
