[ENet-discuss] Not getting any event on my server

[Wai Wu]

You are absolutely right. After a few hours, I figured that out. Once I
put in servicing on the client side, it works great. Another question.
After I send a packet with enet_peer_send, do I have to do a
enet_packet_destroy?

My guess is you are not servicing the client after you get the connect
event. The connection sequence from a protocol/event standpoint is as
follows:

Client sends CONNECT to Server.
Server sends VERIFY_CONNECT to Client on receipt of CONNECT.
Client generates CONNECT event (your problem likely occurs here) and
then sends ACKNOWLEDGE on receipt of VERIFY_CONNECT.
Server generates CONNECT event on receipt of ACKNOWLEDGE.

So the client needs to continue running ENet even after the CONNECT
event is generated client-side, or else the hand-shake will not be
completed.
