Dear friends, thanks a lot for the help, my question for today is the networking with pd, basically work on internet, i know the two objetcts send and receive (net) but i cant configure a funcionality patch...
Please give me a hand...
your question is really very generic and hard to answer as such (at least for me)
let's recapitulate what you probably already know: [netsend]/[netreceive] can be used to setup a one-way connection via UDP or TCP/IP (you chose). the 2 connection modes have to speak the FUDI-protocol (FUDI is what looks like ordinary Pd-messages: a list of atoms (either floats or symbols) ending with a semicolon)
if you are talking about "internet", make sure that the connection is actually possible and not blocked by any firewall. [netsend] always has to connect to a "server" (the patch running [netreceive]. the server obviously has to have an open port and this port must not be blocked by any firewall inbetween. the server has to be reachable via IP-address (or DNS); if the server is in a "private" network that is NATted to the real internet, the firewall has to somehow forward packages to to this server.
if you want a full-duplex connection (bi-directional) you have to open 2 connections (each using a pair of [netsend]/[netreceive])
if you want Pd talk to another application (e.g. a webbrowser running java-script) or vice-versa, you have to make sure your other application talks FUDI as well. (if it does not it might be a good idea to use OSC rather than netsend/netreceive; but using OSC in Pd depends on externals, whereas netsend/netreceive are built-in)
i hope this helps
