Description

hey guys! glad to be here, I'm really having trouble as I don't see any tutorials and I cannot see the messages in GOSSIP chat example between 2 different machines.
Machine A:

./example/03-gossip/gossip_chat_example -p 4444
I am /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/4444/p2p/12D3KooWG1PJZvLidoYh1AfvZ9aytAaSmgHSW58xrsaEm9abSJgq

Machine B:

./gossip_chat_example -p 4444 -r /ip4/PUBLIC_IP/tcp/4444/p2p/12D3KooWG1PJZvLidoYh1AfvZ9aytAaSmgHSW58xrsaEm9abSJgq
I am /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/4444/p2p/12D3KooWNpH8bakYn6uPn4veXp8QFMGFn6sPiaZJPjozYQchReJ9

I'm supposed to connect like that? because I see only my own messages, not the other machine.
I really appreciate any help! It's taking me days to understand why is not working -_-U

Research direction

Start with the example/03-gossip gossip chat example and reproduce the two-machine commands shown in the issue, including the -r multiaddress. Compare the observed output with the expected behavior: messages sent on either machine should be visible on both. The issue does not name a test or source file to inspect.
