Hi, In Direct Play can a server player be created in a peer-to-peer session? The idea is to have a peer-to-peer session, where there''s a player with DPID_SERVERPLAYER id, so that can work in a special way. Thanks in advance Edu Garcia egarcia@ubisoft.es

well, isn''t being peer to peer kind of contradicting server to client?

You can have 5 ordinary computers and any of them can be the server if that''s what you were asking.

The easiest way to setup Client-Server is to simply make the clients unable to create a session and the server is just a client that can''t join a session. To contact the server, the ID is always 1 since the client that creates the session always is assigned that number.
