engine is a pointer to IVEngineServer-- server-side interface for accessing
connected clients. When you're connected to another server, this interface
is unavailable (well, returns inaccurate / NULL values).
engineClient however is a pointer to IVEngineClient-- which is always valid.
I have no idea how to get the INetChannel of the local client, sorry.
Thanks,
