Hey... isnt curious trhat you start working on networks and worrying about udp and TCP/IP and then realizing you dont know how to do this? How can you check if your phone connection (DSL/Cable) is working? (I think thats easy, but whats the best way?) How can you start the dialup if theres a disconection? (gozilla does this if you get disconnected) Why is this? easy here''s the picture, someone is playing your game on a dialup or dsl, crap happens and the player connection is lost. A screen popus and says "connection lost, attempting to restore" then if you do it or not, "connection restored, server conection restored, keep playing!". or "connection couldnt get restored your phone line/dsl/cable sucks, get another provider" of course that last line is a joke, but the functionality is similar. =)
