Hi all,

I am creating an application in C#, It should send data with UDP.

Everything works fine until, I try to communicate with a PC that is on the internet behind a router.

How do I fix this so that I can use UDP without port forwarding?

Why is the parameter on UpdClient.Receive a ref parameter, instead of simply out? According to the MSDN page, the parameter is filled with the address that the datagram was sent from. However it doesn't specify what kind of input it is used for, only output. >>> More
