Why hello thar', its not that hard - In my opinion at least! :3

Theres occasionally some issues, but if you don't have a firewall - You'll be fine.

Theres a Networking Menu tab [Pops his open a moment to make sure hes not just talking out of his ass]

So, Start up openCanvas1.1

+Click the Network menu tab (The one between Window and Help)

+In the Dropdown, click 'Show Network Window...'
-This will open Two windows
-One is a Chat, the other is the actual Networking Window

+In the window called Network, theres three tabs. Server; Client; Network Preferences.
-Under the Network Preferences tab, you can alter the whiteboard size, number of clients, and a few other things like the Port it will use (Which you won't have to worry about unless you have a firewall)

+Clicking the Server tab, Give yourself a User Name - And then click [Stand By]

+You are now hosting a Session. It shows an IP, but ignore that - Its your Local IP for your personal Network - Not whats hosting to the Internet, so unless its another computer on your LAN you need- - -

+To go to a website like This! www.whatsmyip.net

+Take the IP it gives, and send it to someone who wants to join your Session.

+Have them follow the procedures to open their Networking Window in openCanvas1.1, but select the [Client] tab instead.

+In the Client tab, have the user Type out the IP Given by www.whatsmyip.net

+After giving himself a Username in the labled box, have him click the Button to the right of the IP - It usually will have three Characters on it which don't really make sense.

+If all goes well, you two are now viewing the same whiteboard.




Maurgh, I type too much.

So, in Summary.
Network->Networking Window
Server Tab->User Name + [Stand By]
Find hosting IP at www.whatsmyip.net
Client types hosting IP into Client Tab


Good luck, and happy oCing!

If thats not clear enough, or if you want to test it out - Reply and I'll try to get back, yush?

Alright, just so you don't think I'm ignoring you, thank you SO much for taking the tie to type this out for me. I'll have to mess with it more once I get the chance, and thank you for offering to let me test it out with you.

Na'problem, and always - Happy oCing. :3
