Hi all, Using DirectPlay9. In our game, the server is running in another thread. We are interested in finding out if a client that exists in the same Windows process has connected to this server. In other words, if the process first starts a server thread, then starts a client and connects to the server in that thread, we want to catch it. If a client is connecting from another computer, or another process, we are not interested in it. Is there any way to detect this using the DPNPLAYER_LOCAL and DPNPLAYER_HOST flag from the DPN_PLAYER_INFO. We can detect the the server''s player is created (using DPNPLAYER_LOCAL), but the DPNPLAYER_HOST flags seems set for every client that connects. Thanks for any help you can provide. Best regards Bjørn Toft Madsen

You could put 1-byte custom data in the player info structure when created in the same process as the server object. If the data exists, it''s local, otherwise it''s remote.
