[ENet-discuss] ENet doesn't do servers?

[GhostManZero]

UDP isnt like TCP, the packets take a bit more time to reach  
someplace, and unlike TCP, since the packets arent streamed, you have  
to wait about ~200 ms max or something to get the connection packet  
sent, because, as said before, you dont have a "connection", therefore  
the client must somehow tell the server it's "connecting".
Check the official tutorials, they show how a client should get the  
"connect" notification, which is basically the same as what you're  
intending to do.
