[ENet-discuss] Problems getting ENet to work on Solaris

[Lee Salzman]

One problem I see is you are trying to send a packet over channel 3,
but have only created 2 channels in the connect. If you create 2
channels, these will be numbered 0 and 1, so channel 3 is only available
if you specify that 4 channels are to be allocated. This is most likely
going to cause a crash in the client.

You should also ensure that a connect event is actually received before
sending out packets on the client peer. It may possibly return a
disconnect event if the connect fails.
