yep, you're absolutely right. i fixed it by doing  std::stringstream
ss2(std::string(packet->data, packet->dataLength)); and ENetPacket *packet
= enet_packet_create(ss.str().data(), ss.str().size(),
ENET_PACKET_FLAG_RELIABLE);

which should be useful for anyone else who might encounter this.

thanks for the fast response & help
