Does anyone know how to do this? I can't find out how this is enforced. The rules are:

1. every client on the network must have a unique name
2. JoinNetwork() must supply your client name
3. you can't get the other client names until you've joined the network

I'm going to try and work it out, but it means deploying some test code to 3 devices - one host and two clients to join with same name. As Captain Oates once said, I may be gone some time...

Got the code in place, unfortunately after my daughter had gone to bed, so need to wait to connect 2 clients with same name!

Steve, email me directly if you wind up hitting your head against a wall over this issue. I do want AppGameKit networking to be one of the jewels in this product, I suspect we'll be hammering the features a LOT as we move into 2012!

I drink tea, and in my spare time I write software.
