i want to send data over the internet to another computer running MAX. I know a bit about this using udpsend on a local network, but over the internet is new for me...hav some basic knowledge about ip addresses and such, but it is not working yet. What i have done:

- instead of the local ip address 192.168.2.1 i used whatsmyip.com to determine the 'real' ip address of my computer

- using several objects (mxj net.tcp.send, jit.net.send) i have tried to connect to another computer

Still...to no avail. Is there anything specific i need to do or know in order to get this to work? Any help would be appreciated!

If your distant machine is connected to the Internet thru a modem or router, you should have a look to

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding

The idea is to ask the router to redirect messages sent to a specific port to a computer of the local network.

If your distant machine is connected to the Internet thru a modem or router, you should have a look to port forwarding in its router setup.

thanks for the reply, i am finally able to get to my router setup, and will check the port forwarding options.
