Hi all, I need to write a simple application that send a message
through Ethernet and get response, I have no idea how to start 
this, I only know how to communicate using Rs-232, my computer
is connected to a local network, can I use this connection for
my Ethernet tests? what should I install? where can I find a 
clear example that shows me how to init the Ethernet, how to send
and how to recieve?

Thanks,
Ori.

You would probably want to use TCP/IP for the communication.
That is handled by Sockets.

In Windows, this is known as WinSock (winsock2.h)

Depending on your compiler version, you could use 3rd party libs like
ICS or INDY9.50 (snapshot).
