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.
Thank you

The private address is 127.0.0.1, also known as the loopback address, and named "localhost". There is one other address associated with each network card in your system that is what is used to communicate over the internet or LAN. Adresses like 10.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.1 are local to your network, most of the others can be accessed across the Internet. PD can use any of these, as long as your system is set up to allow it. Martin
I've done it on a LAN before between several computers at once, so I know that this works. I think, therefore, that it should also work across the internet, even to remote locations... but I can't say that for sure. Were you planning to use it between machines on a LAN?

[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...
