[PlanetCCRMA] data over local network

[Oded Ben-Tal]

hi,
thanks for the reply and appologies for being a bit slow. But how do I 
assign the ip addresses? We are connecting via a hub (not router) and the 
mac (and my laptop under windows) gets an ip address somehow from the hub 
with the first 2 numbers shared - i.e. mac had 169.256.x.y win had 
169.256.z.q
I think once I get to the successful ping stage we should be fine - we 
managed to get OSC messages across with udpsend/receive between max and 
pd.

thanks
Oded
