the way of a network package

[Rudolf Meier]

Hi

Can someone tell me how a network package travels trough all protocols and
adapters? Let's say, that a browser is opening a website... what's happening
then? First we have... I don't know... a socket, then the TCP/IP protocol
and then? ... the "WAN-Miniport (IP)" Adapter? or what? ... and when does it
arrive at the Hardware itself? ... sorry, I don't understand the whole
network driver architecture... does someone have a good explanation of how
this works?

thanks

Google??

you should read the manual ... seriously ... DDK/SDK have alot of
information on the flow of traffic from socket based programs down through
the stack.
