Yes those websites always list the public/external IP address for your WAN. You need the LAN IP address which you can get by right-clicking your internet connection icon in the panel or typing ifconfig in a terminal. It should be something like 192.168.0.X or 10.0.0.X.

For now I'm trying to test the concept by connecting one machine to another and see if I can get a message through, although, come to think of it. That website might be throwing up the IP of the router/network. How can I find the local IP?

Hey all I'm trying to get [netsend] and [netreceive] to work on a small group of computers on Ubuntu 10.04. They are not otherwise networked (IE, they're not used for file transfer or internal messaging) although they are all connected to one router via a switch. So I think netsends should work. However, after attempting to connect the netsend object to an IP address (found on the other machine via www.whatsmyip.com, could this be the same IP?) PD crashes. I've no idea why, no error messages I can see before crashing. Help would be appreciated. Thanks Andrew
So are you trying to send one netsend to multiple netreceives? For computers on the LAN, i just use the local ip address - usually something like 192.168.0.x or 10.0.0.x Perhaps you could have multiple netsend's for the number of computers that need to receive the data? I've not used netsend with an internet ip address, but you might want to look at port forwarding
