The built-in networking is a modified version of RakNet, and is client-server.

http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Components/net-HighLevelOverview.html

"The basic concept of networking is communication between multiple computers. To do t$$anonymous$$s you need a client and a server. The server can either be a dedicated host mac$$anonymous$$ne for everyone, or a player running the game acting as the server for other players. Once a server has been established and a client has connected to it, the two computers can exchange data necessary for a multiplayer network game."

yes that is Sercer-client you are talking about, ...

but how do you create:

server is A

client B has connected to server A, makes a server B

client C has connected to server A, makes a server C and sends data to server B? without the need OF user at server B make a port forwarding to his PC so server C is able to send a message to client B?

I really don't see how to do that, otherwise I would not have problems and I had to make port forwarding.

I think question needs little more details.

@sdgd Thats P2P - In Server-Client the clients never connect to each other directly. The only "connection" the clients have is the server which is responsible for receiving data from the clients, processing the data, and then broadcasting the results to other connected clients.
