Here's what I would like you to do (if you want to help out):
Fire up a network sniffer that dumps to libpcap format. Grab TCP and UDP packets. Start a game that uses DirectPlay for networking and start a network game.
Start the game on another box and connect to the game. Now, in the game lobby, use the chat to say something from both games. Then, change a setting or two and start the game. After a few moments of playing (or more, your pick), leave the game. After both games are closed, you can stop the capture, zip it up and send it to me.
I'll pay the person who gets me a complete Settlers3 trace a beer at the next Wineconf. I didn't manage to join a game there, but even when just trying to join, I found a packet type my dissector didn't have. Should be interesting. :)
