[HECnet] Connection with NAT and/or change IP addresses...

[Johnny Billquist]

After a long session of hacking I've gotten both UDP and TCP Multinet 
connections working stable in RSX.

And doing this I also realized that I now can automatically handle 
people with changing IP addresses, or NAT.

It works automatically with my code. If you have a TCP connection, it 
will be dropped if your address changes. If you are the connecting side, 
that means it will start trying to reconnect again at that point. And if 
I allow connections from anywhere, a new link will be established rather 
quickly.

And it also works through NAT.

And if you only have your system online sporadically, that also works fine.

I just figured I should bring this up, for people who have been 
searching for solutions for this scenario.

Of course, I do not know if it will work with anything else than RSX, 
but I can't fix everything. :-)
