Hi!

I tried this two codes form the daniel shiffman examples with the server and client example using the network library. Seems to work fine if i use the rigth IP adress from one to another computer. But how can i handle it to sending some datas over wide distances, like china... ? Didnt work, even i used the right IP adress... what could be the problem, it should be possible, right?

1. // SERVER
2. //
3. import processing.net.*;
4. // Declare a server
5. Server server;
6. PFont f;
7. int data = 0;
8. void setup() {
9.   size(200,200);
10.   // Create the Server on port 5204
11.   server = new Server(this, 5204);
12.   f = createFont("Arial",20,true);
13. }
14. void draw() {
15.   background(255);
16.  
17.   // Display data
18.   textFont(f);
19.   textAlign(CENTER);
20.   fill(0);
21.   text(data,width/2,height/2);
22.  
23.   // Broadcast data (the number is continuously sent to all clients because write() is called every cycle through draw())
24.   server.write(data);
25.  
26.   // Arbitrarily changing the value of data randomly
27.   data = (data + 1) % 256;
28. }
29. // The serverEvent function is called whenever a new client connects.
30. void serverEvent(Server server, Client client) {
31.   println(" A new client has connected: "+ client.ip());
32. }

1. // CLIENT
2. //
   
3. // Import the net libraries
4. import processing.net.*;
5. // Declare a client
6. Client client;
7. // The data we will read from the server
8. int data;
9. void setup() {
10.   size(200,200);
11.   smooth();
12.   // Create the Client
13.   client = new Client(this,"127.0.0.1", 5204); //local host
    
14. }
15. void draw() {
16.    // Read data
17.   if (client.available() > 0) {
18.     data = client.read();
19.   }
20.  
21.   background(255);
22.   stroke(0);
23.   fill(175);
24.   translate(width/2,height/2);
25.  
26.   // The incoming data is used to rotate a square.
27.   float theta = (data/255.0) * TWO_PI;
28.   rotate(theta);
29.  
30.   rectMode(CENTER);
31.   rect(0,0,64,64);
32. }
