Well, I am not looking for strong security here, just some kind of basic filtering. Let's say we have several developers on the same subnetwork. Each might want to force his own client to connect to his own server without having to do high-level filtering so that the each other's sessions are not disturbed by unwanted successful connections. So this filtering is more a developer-friendly feature than anything else. Session blocking, however, has utility in released products. I just don't want to 'waste' a separate boolean on this when a special filter can to the trick. But I take it that since you didn't comment on the actual way I reject the connection I am doing this right, so I'm happy :-) Benoit. _______________________________________________ ENet-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cubik.org/mailman/listinfo/enet-discuss
