[ENet-discuss] Problem partailly solved

[Nuno Silva]

The data that peer->data has is application-specific for your active
application. What this means is, you can't share it since there's no way for
ENet to know e.g., how many bytes you set, and it isn't transmitted by ENet.
It's merely a way to provide user data to the peer while you're working with
peers on ENet (this way you dont have to use a secondary mechanism to find a
peer by ENetPeer *).

So after you get connected, you should send a packet specifying the player's
name (best to send a Reliable packet in this case) or something similar.
