Richard,
Thiago,
Thanks for your replies.
I’m very lame on network stuff.
STUN server is responding and believe I’m parsing the result correctly using the stun-msg lib. But after that point I can’t seem to receive data on the socket. I’m not sure if I’m having other kind of problems and mostly I don’t know how to debug them, for instance, knowing if the port has been or is still open on my router, etc
Richard, do you know any C++ NAT traversal libs?
Thanks!
Regards,
Nuno
