At first I thought I had a bug in my 'InspectPacket' Routine. All of the routed pongs i'm receiving have only spaces for the messageID. And the length is correct for a messageID(15). After reviewing my logfile with more attention, I found that this is ONLY the case when I recive a 'routed' pong. The pongs I recieve from my connected servant are correct, as well as the ping messageID's as well. The connected servant is BearShare 2.4.2 on another pc through my router/switch with BS. having 3 internet servants connected to it.

Any clues as to what i'm doing wrong?

Here is a clip of my logfile:

*Note: the empty brackets did contain 16 spaces, but pasting it here altered that. Trust me the MsgId length is correct, it was just full of " "'s
