Quick question about Shared Spaces.

Post by BNG »

When we start a new session does our own PC become the host? If so do other users logon to the host computer and become part of it? I've never really used this feature, but was wondering if and how it works from a practical point of view.

I recently got high speed through Time Warner Cable, but I'm not really sure how to set up an IP address for others to connect to via the internet. How would one test out if other can see and logon to my PC acting as the host for the seession? Thanks, Leroy. Btw, greetings to all.

Thanks spacekdet.
BNG, if you start a new server and create a new space, that space has a port number. If you have a router, you need to configure the router so a range of ports are open, including the space's port number.
You then have to let people know what your ip address is, so they can connect.
