[ENet-discuss] Problem partailly solved

[Ruud van Gaal]

No packet is being sent indeed.
The peer->data is a local pointer that only 'lives' at the computer that
defines it. Nothing is send; you need packets for that. It's just to
associate computer-local data with the peer (a peer is a computer, not a
packet).
