So, what would happen? Say I was at IP addy w.x.y.z and someone from a different one called TCP OPEN 1,"w.x.y.z/453" what would happen?
Would the program just run whatever? What would it output? How would I then use that to open the connection to the other person?
And finally, can I set this up on the fly? I really would not expect people to have to set up about 6 different ports on there own just so they could host a game of James Bond. (thats how many I think I'd need, because trying to do it all with one port would get rather messy I think)
I mean, Quake can set up a listening port without messing about like that, so there must be a way? Anyone?
See ya.
