[second attempt at sending, since my new machine is not yet fully configured and the first attempt bounced :-/]
moinmoin,
yep, that's what OSC is for -- sending to arbitrary IP addresses. be warned though, that since OSC (usually) uses UDP as its transport, your packets might get lost en route; although even the intercontinentally ballistic osc barrages i've sent (1 packet every 50ms or so, from ISP#1(Germany) to ISP#2(USA) using 56k analog modems on both endpoints) by and large seemed to get through intact...

hi, perhaps the names of these are different than what i'm calling them but i was under the impression that a computer has two ip address (at least). one is private or local, the other is used by the internet like websites. the second can also be found by going to websites like http://whatsmyip.org/ . I don't have a computer with PD at the moment, was wondering if oscx could send data to that second type of ip address. So, if one could send information (or receive information) using the less private ip address using osc in pd.
If making this inquiry a touch more clear would be of good cause, I'd be fast to be of aid.
