[wpkg-users] WPKG Client and laptop

I don,t think we should relay on ICMP packet since this could be block
at the firewall level.  I think it would be preferable to try to open
the tcp port 139.  My guess is the initial SYN be enough.

However I would be useless coding that, sorry.  I'm just giving my 2 cents.

goodday
