hi
i never used osc myself, but afaik with osc you can only send messages one way (client -> server). in a setup that you described here, everyone needs to be a client and at the same a server, if all members want to communicate bidirectional with the others. it's more complicated to be a server (you need to open ports in the firewall and do portforwarding with your router), that's why i think that some connections worked and others not.
alternatively you could use a system that allows bidirectional communication over one single connection. the maxlib-external for example has the objects [netclient] and [netserver] for exactly this purpose, so that only one of you guys needs to be a server.
<ad> if you are interested in doing music over the internet, check http://www.netpd.org . netpd is an environment, that makes it easy to create you own patches to be used over the internet. i'd really like to meet you in netpd and give you a short demo of its capabilities. </ad>

Hi,
we're three pd-ers (or ocasionally 2 pders and 1 maxer), and we're
trying
to set up osc to communicate while each of us is at home in his
pijamas.
(so far we've done it sucessfully in the direct way, hub+cables and
manual
setting of the ip for each)
yesterday we were trying it, and the results were quite strange:
- users A, B and C
- A sent to B, but didn't receive nothing (wlan and lan)
- B sent to nobody, received from A (lan)
- C couldn't send or receive from neither (wlan and lan)
- all (or C didn't?) could connect to themselves through OSC (connect
x.y.z.k 1000) (with "send" I mean to be received. there were no error reports from dumpOSC)
I find strange that either it should nothing work, or everything work.
All
systems are windows, and firewalls were either totally open or even
shut
down. I don't know if wlan/lan makes a difference, I guess not.
does anyone has suggestions about this? The purpose would be all to connect to each other, and later to play a concert at a distance (and still in pijamas).
Greetings,
Joao
PS: as yesterday, it isn't possible to search the list archives.
