Default Re: SEIV Gold Demo does *not* have TCP/IP

Doesn't help if:

1. You don't control the firewall.

2. You have more than one player behind the firewall (you can only forward UDP to one machine, because it's connectionless).

3. You have an inexpensive firewall that can't handle letting through UDP (some firewalls block UDP inbound for security reasons).

4. Your ISP blocks UDP (which some do for security reasons).

And regardless, there's no reason to use it at all.
