gamespy transport service is using udp.
right now one of the player creates socket and just listens to it,
another on is actively trying to connect to other party, but fails at
create_host for some reasons. I am creating host in the same way on both
machines.
I am testing connectivity on the same machines constantly, so I dont see
any reason why it should work for 3 times in a row and then wouldnt...
and it's a bit weird moment - creating host, i would expect it to fail
when actually trying to connect
:(

Is gamespy using tcp or udp ?
If both your players try to connect at the same time then they should
get through after a retry or two.
Although there is many types of nat's so it might not always work.

Hello!
I am using enet library in conjunction with gamespy. I use gamespy
to create socket, connect to lobby, select opponent and do the NAT
punch-through. In next step I close gamespy socket, initialize
enet library and try to create enet host with same port (in my
case I pass ip as empty string) and then start connection to other
party. It works, but not always. I am using three computers right
now: pc vista, pc xp and mac osx 10.7.4. On mac sometimes (not
always) I cannot create enet host (even if i try to create host
with different ports, 100 retries), here's the code:
retries = 101;
enet_address_set_host (&enet.gAddress, ip);
do {
enet.gAddress.port = port;
enet.gHost = enet_host_create (&enet.gAddress , 1 , 2, 0 ,0 );
if (enet.gHost == NULL)
{
printf ( "An error occurred while trying to create an ENet
host(%s:%d).\n",ip,port);
port++; // HACK
}
else
printf( "host created.\n");
} while (enet.gHost == NULL && (--retries > 0));
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Martin
