[ENet-discuss] Unreliable disconnects when shutting down

Yeah that's what I assumed.  I've been code diving this afternoon, and
it seems the WSASendTo call attempting to send the disconnect packet
fails with a 'host unreachable'.  I'm tracking this down now.

Thanks for the response
Dan

enet_peer_disconnect_now should do exactly what you need. As far as I 
have tested it, it works.
