I am a very frustrated beginner - please help! I'm sure my mistake is very obvious, but after hours of trying to get this thing to work no luck.

I am using Vista 64 to communicate with a make controller via ethernet. I have set up the MC with a piezo sensor and followed all of the tutorial / how-to instruction on how to set up the MC and write the patch in MAX. I am using Max 5. MCHelper (program that communicates with the MC) is returning values, but I can't get MAX to read those values. Below is the pasted code. Please advise!

First, you should send compressed patches to this list (see "Copy  
compressed" in Max' Edit menu).
I suppose your IP and port are correct.
You should try to remove the "MakeCtrl" symbol in [udpreceive], and  
directly connect the output to [route /analogin/0/value]. It works for  
me.

Note that the MakeController can send its analog inputs values  
automatically (see the /analogin/0/autosend message), which can be  
very convenient.

Thanks for responding. Late last night I finally figured out my 'glitch' - simple as suspected. I hadn't realized that the port the MC is listening and sending to is actually set by MCHelper... When those matched, the whole thing worked.
