Can you provide relevant code? How are you trying to connect to yourself?<br>

All I can say that in principle this works; I use this every day (a single<br>
exe running both and a server and a client, where the client connects to<br>
its own server).<br>

Well, what you describe seems to me that you connect peers from different<br>
ENetHost(s).<br>
<br>
What I've tested is merely the same (pseudocode):<br>
<br>
ENetAddress address;<br>
a.host = <localhost><br>
a.port = <port><br>
<br>
EnetHost *host = enet_host_create(&address, .....);<br>
enet_host_connect(host, &address, ...);<br>
<br>
Notice that the enet_host_connect() connects to the address which ENetHost<br>
was initialised with.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Krasimir<br>

I don't have any problems with a running a client / server on the same<br>
machine. My code is available here, it's unfinished overall however<br>
the enet connection stuff has worked without problems for a long time.<br>
