Reading data from ethernet port using Qt

Question

I am trying to open an ethernet port to receive data using Qt libraries. Previously I was using libpcap library to do this work. pcap_open_live("eth0", ... ) to open the ethernet port and pcap_loop() to collect the data.

Are there any similar functions in Qt libraries which does this work? If yes, can anyone explain how to use them.

Thank you

Take a look at QNetworkAccessManager. It works on sockets instead of ports directly, but it should be able to do what you need.
