torrent.on('wire', function (wire) {}) not being called on LAN peers

[John-p0pe]

torrent.on('wire', function (wire) {})

The wire event isn't being called when the Peer is on a LAN. It works fine with external peers.

It seems that after an external peer is connected first , the lan peer connects and calls the wire event.
If the Lan peer connects first it doesnt call the wire event.

When you say LAN peer, do you mean another peer on the same computer? Or just on the same network?

[John-p0pe]

The same network

Can you provide the minimal code it takes to reproduce this issue?

[John-p0pe]

client.add(torrentId, function (torrent) {

 torrent.on('wire', function(wire, addr) {
                        console.log("WIRE event from:  " + wire.remoteAddress);
                        console.log("PeerId : " + wire.peerId.toString());                        
}
}

I'm using the browser version of webtorrent if that matters.

Yes, that matters! WebRTC connectivity depends heavily on the network that you're on. The only thing I can recommend is for you to try specifying the rtcConfig option to the WebTorrent constructor.
