Socket access to restricted user

Hello all of you,

I have developed socket application in VB which uses Winsock API. When i login as Administrative User, I have no problem to establish connection with Java Server.

But when i login as Restricted user, I can not send data through winsock (I tested it out using Packet Sniffer)

I found some pages on internet mentioning that Restricted user do not have Raw socket access. Is it true ?

(I am using Windows XP)

Regards,

Yep, that's true.

But it refers to socket TYPE (SOCK_RAW), and I really doubt this is your problem.

Unless you are writing your own custom protocol or using ICMP, there is no need to use SOCK_RAW.

Usually, for common data transfer, you should use SOCK_STREAM if you need a TCP connection and SOCK_DGRAM if you just want to throw packets at the server over UDP.
