I want to do something which seems quite simple :

I have a Mac (10.3.8) and a PC both running Max and Jitter. I want to 

exchange data between them using a simple Ethernet cable and either 

jit.net.send/jit.net.receive or netsend/netreceive.

Configuring the PC to achieve this seems a complete nightmare (I am not 

used to XP at all). Windows doesn't even seem to consider this kind of 

link as possible (single Ethernet link between 2 computers without 

Is there any kind of clear step-by-step tutorial about this anywhere?

Also, as it is for an installation, is it possible to do it with a 

fixed IP address on each computer so to establish the connection

Also, as it is for an installation, is it possible to do it with a 
fixed IP address on each computer so to establish the connection 
automatically every day?

Apple Menu -> System Preferences - > Network -> Ethernet -> tcp/ip

Start -> Control Panel -> Networking -> Ethernet LAN -> TCP/IP ->

On Mac or PC, open up terminal or command.exe and ping the other 

system. If you get responses, they talk to one another. If not, check 

once you can ping, you can send any network data to and fro.

Ip address : 192.168.0.2
subnetmask 255.255.255.0

Start -> Control Panel -> Networking -> Ethernet LAN -> TCP/IP ->
Properties

Ip adress : 192.168.0.3

On Mac or PC, open up terminal or command.exe and ping the other

your settings.

Remember to use a crossed cable. I don't think you can get it to work 

using an ordinary ethernet cable between the two computers.

maybe windows firewall/zonealaram or similar gets in the way. try to disable 

it for a moment, and if things work - you'll have to configure it to open

maybe windows firewall/zonealaram or similar gets in the way. try to disable 
it for a moment, and if things work - you'll have to configure it to open 
needed ports...

udpsend/updreceive are working and not jit.net.send/jit.net.receive?

udpsend/updreceive are working and not jit.net.send/jit.net.receive?  
Did you try changing the port number?

As far as I know, all modern Macs (dating back at least as far as the 

Gigabit TiBook) have auto-sensing ether ports which don't care

As far as I know, all modern Macs (dating back at least as far as the

whether the cable is crossed or not.
