i want to netpdise my data-structure-sequenzer. so, i want to broadcast pointers to prevent some hacks,
but it seems not possible with [netsend]/[netreceive]..
i become some errors like: error: pointer: no method for '(pointer)'
but when i normally print it out, i become print: (pointer)... without this ''...
thanx for any tips, hacks
cheers

The "(gpointer)" message your get from a [print] object is not the real form of the pointer in your patch, it's basically just a dummy printout. A real pointer in Pd doesn't have a printed form and I don't think you can send it over the network. A pointer just points to some data hold in memory.
You can only send this data contained in a pointer by [get]-ing it and [set]-ing it on the other side.

i understand pointer more and more, but i understand it still not 100%... :)

that is exactly what i'm doing now, but in my case i receive the lists in reverse/different order, so i point everytime to a wrong template.. but i will find a solution..

A pointer is a number that expresses the location of some data in your computer's heap memory. Two computers don't have the exact same data at the same place and the same moment (unless you are very lucky...), therefore, you cannot pass a pointer from a computer to an other : you need to send the actual data that is pointed to by this pointer.
Otherwise, you could just do the exact same operations on both computers to render the same result on both.
