Hi, I've been messing with Direct Play Network coding. I notice if you use the built in interface, it will do a search for games on the network without having to enter a specific address. Is this posible without using the built in interface as will. Most games nowadays don't require you to enter specific addresses.

In my opinion, you shouldn't use DirectPlay. It just doesn't work out for me anways. Try some of the nice UDP libraries

Where do I go about getting those?

I'm sure he's talking about things like RottNett. They make using UDP a pretty seamless integration.

RottNett isn't very popular, but it's a pretty cool lib.

Where do I find that?
