hii Neil,

I am not using the transport layer neither the Network layer. I have written a
small protocol which work of a LAN without a router. So ideally there is no need
of the network layer (I am using physical address for the transfer). 

I have defined a filed called as "offset" and another one called as "id".
Whenever you send a file, it is divided into various frames depending upon the
size of the file and send with the same "id" and an offset incremented by 1.

As you said the firewall issues. I don't think that is the problem because I am
sending the file to myself, but , on eth0 rather than lo, because send on lo
wont give the expected results.

If you still want some explanation then please ask me.

Thank you.
