I heard of this unique ID, but I must be over looking it. Where is in response to what is returned back?
Is the in the #2 ? I see the int32 -1 (the wierd yyyy) and after I send a 'c' I do get back a 'd' - and the 3rd - 'byte unused' looks like a chr(13). I think you're pointing me in the right direction, if only I knew where this 'unique' ID was in the packet. 1. (int32) -1 2. (byte) ASCII 'd' ( M2A_SERVERS ) 3. (byte) unused 4. (4 x byte) ip address 5.
