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
