    sending UDP packets through DirectPlay8

    How would you send UDP packets using DirectPlay8?

    UDP is a connectionless protocol

    I believe that all the protocols used by DirectPlay (TCP, IPX etc...) are connection oriented protocols so you can't send udp packets via this method

    It would be much easier to use Winsock for this
