Register Server Lock2Key

When the hub connects to the hublist, it must undergo a similar Lock/Key negotiation. The <key> calculation is the same, but the special number 5 in the second step is replaced with the following value computed from the hub's port, <localport>:

((localport>>8) + (localport & 255)) & 255

So the equivalent to this in VB would be :

Code: Select all

((Winsock.LocalPort \ (2^8)) + (Winsock.LocalPort And 255)) And 255

Not that it matters, but that should read :

((localport>> + (localport & 255)) & 255

Id say calling it localport is a bit confusing, as it depends on which side youre at. Its actually the source-port if you ask me, as opposed to destination port, which should be 2501 for a hublist server.
