Lol The communications between HLDS and yourself are done using UDP packets
It is the sort of thing you ought to know BEFORE you start fooling around with packet sniffers. Here are some useful resources for the newbie and not so newbie: This is where to start http://www.warriorsofthe.net/index.html This is the Microsoft TCP-IP Guide (read this first) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dniph/html/tcpipintro.asp This is the IBM TCP-IP Guide http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/abstracts/gg243376.html?Open This is a list of port numbers http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers This is a packet sniffer http://www.ethereal.com/ This is where just about everybody ends up when they want to learn to subnet http://www.learntosubnet.com/ This is where you will end up once you have digested all of the above and want to be able to actually do something with networks http://www.cisco.com I'm sure there are more links, but this is an ok start if you serious about Networking On Sat, 26 Feb 2005 18:59:32 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm confused: how does hooking up the udp sockets affect the > authentication process?
